Cerezo in top gear for Motors clash

Osaka: Cerezo Osaka head to Korea and the second-leg of their 2011 AFC Champions League quarter-final clash with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors buoyed by a 6-0 win over Montedio Yamagata in their Round 27J.League fixture on Friday.
After the seven-goal first-leg thriller against Jeonbuk, Cerezo put in a tired performance upon their return to domestic duty last Saturday.
But with a place in the final four of Asia's premier club competition at stake, Cerezo gave the 2006 ACL champions a timely reminder of their attacking prowess as six different players got on the score sheet in Friday's romp over Montedio.
Ryuji Bando and Kota Fujimoto gave Levir Culpi's side a two-goal cushion going into the break with goals in the 24^th and 28^th minutes respectively before Noriyuki Sakemoto extended Cerezo's lead a minute after the restart.
Takahiro Ogihara made it 4-0 three minutes later but the goals dried up until final five minutes, with Brazilian midfielder Fabio Lopes grabbing the fifth in the 85^thminute before substitute Yohei Otake sealed the win from the spot sixty seconds later to give Cerezo a massive fillip ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Jeonbuk.

Taiwan Power win AFC President's Cup

Kaohsiung: Two goals from He Ming-chan and another from Chen Po-liang saw Taiwan Power Company lift the AFC President's Cup 2011 with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Phnom Penh Crown.
He twice put the home side, who also missed a second-half penalty, in front at the National Stadium and Chen netted what proved to be a crucial third goal as they were reduced to 10 men with 13 minutes to go after Chen Yu-lin was dismissed for a professional foul.
There was controversy just before the end, however, as three Phnom Penh players were sent off for shoving the referee.
Taiwan Power got off to the best possible start when Kuo Yin-hung's cross from the right picked out an unmarked He and he headed home from close range.
Crown settled after that early setback and Sun Sovannarith's dangerous low cross was turned behind by Lee Meng-chian at the far post with Kingsley Njoku lurking.
Chan Chaya then overran the ball in the box when clear, allowing keeper Pan Wei-chih to gather, but the Cambodians did level in the 34^th minute.
A long pass forward was collected by Khim Borey in the box and while the midfielder appeared to dally, Njoku nipped in to fire the ball into the back of the net.
A minute later, Chen Po-liang weaved through a couple of challenges but Peng Bunchay beat away his shot before Kuo curled a free-kick towards the top corner that was clawed away by the Crown keeper as the sides went in even at the break.
It took just two minutes of the second-half for Taiwan Power to re-establish their lead, though, as a swift break ended with Chen Po-liang feeding He and he forged into the box before slotting into the bottom corner.
The hosts then missed a great opportunity to extend their lead in the 64^th minute when a defensive error allowed Chen Po-liang to break into the box before he was brought down by Anthony Obadin but Hung Kai-chun skied the penalty over the bar.
It was not to prove costly, however, as Hung advanced down the left two minutes later and his cross slipped through Bunchay's hands, allowing Chen Po-liang to finish into an empty net.
The hosts, though, were reduced to 10 men in the 77^th minute when Chen Yu-lin pulled back Sok Pheng as he chased a through ball but Sun Sopanha drove the free-kick straight at the wall.
Crown gave themselves hope with eight minutes to go when San Narith headed in Sovannrithy's corner at the back post and with time running out, Kouch Sokumpheak latched onto a ball over the top but his weak shot was straight at keeper Pan.
The game ended on a sour note as Sovannrithy, Chaya and Narith were all sent-off for shoving Saudi referee Mohammed Al Awaji after he denied the Cambodians a penalty.
