Yasir Asani scored his eighth goal of the season in the Asian Champions League as his Gwangju side won the second leg of their last-16 tie 2-0, sending the match into extra time with a 2-2 aggregate score.
The national team winger started the match against the Japanese team in the starting lineup. It was Park Jeong-In who scored the first goal in the 18th minute, while Asani sent the entire stadium into celebration with a penalty converted into a goal just five minutes before the end of the match.
His goal "sealed" the tie and sent the match into extra time, while the 29-year-old shows good form before the national team's training camp. Albania plays against England on March 21 in London and three days later Andorra comes to Tirana, challenges that count for Group K of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
