Brazilian striker Leandro scored a 116th-minute winner to send Kashiwa Reysol into the Asian Champions League group stage after shaking off Thai Premier League side Chonburi FC 3-2 in extra time on Tuesday night.
Reysol qualified for the ACL playoff at Hitachi Stadium by virtue of their fourth-place finish in the J. League last season, and took an eighth-minute lead over the visitors through Kosuke Takatomi in bitterly cold conditions.
Chonburi hit back two minutes later with an equalizer from Brazilian Leandro Assumpcao, before Leandro restored Reysol's lead from the penalty spot in the 57th minute.
