FOOTBALL Osaka - 0

After Gamba won the first leg in Osaka 3-0, Adelaide needed to score early goals at home to put pressure on their Japanese opponents.

However, the Australian side's hopes were effectively over after Brazilian striker Lucas scored twice within the opening 15 minutes.

The home side pushed hard throughout but were unable to break down a resolute Gamba defence, with the Japanese club looking a class above their Australian challengers.
