J. League leader Gamba Osaka came from a goal down to beat holder Jubilo Iwata 3-1 on Wednesday to advance to the semifinals of the Nabisco Cup.
Daisuke Nasu gave Iwata an early lead at Expo Stadium but Hayato Sasaki leveled and Rafinha put the home side in front, before Nasu turned into his own net 14 minutes from time, setting Gamba up with a date in the last four on Sunday with Urawa Reds.
Urawa won 2-1 at Gamba's local rival Cerezo Osaka thanks to an 83rd-minute goal from Ranko Despotovic.
