Gerson Rodrigues

For 90 minutes neither side had found a way through, and the match was still goalless as stoppage time ran down at Saitama Stadium 2002. In the 93rd minute, Gerson Rodrigues broke the deadlock for Jubilo Iwata to make it 0-1. It proved to be the only goal of the afternoon and therefore the winner, sending the visitors home with all three points against Urawa Red Diamonds.
