Kewell's Yokohama reach Asian Champions League final

Harry Kewell has enjoyed the greatest moment of his coaching career by guiding 10-man Yokohama F.Marinos, against all the odds, into the Asian Champions League final after a dramatic penalty shootout triumph over Ulsan.

The former Socceroos great has gone where even his illustrious Australian predecessors Ange Postecoglou and Kevin Muscat couldn't by reaching the biggest club showdown in Asian soccer.

Yet it was the manner in which Yokohama made it which proved so remarkable on Wednesday, playing with just 10 for nearly an hour and a half but still managing to eke out a 3-2 second-leg win after extra-time to secure a 3-3 aggregate draw and then pinch the shootout victory 5-4.
