Mongolian yokozuna Harumafuji came from behind to beat Goeido in a dramatic playoff on Sunday to capture his ninth career title on the final day of the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament.

Harumafuji entered the last day of the 15-day meet trailing Goeido by one win and needing victory against the ozeki in the final bout of regulation to force a championship playoff at Ryogoku Kokugikan.

And the yokozuna came through in dominating fashion, getting both hands locked onto the front of Goeido's belt before shunting him over the edge to leave both men with 11-4 records.
