Yuruki's 94th-Minute Winner Lifts Vissel Kobe Over Melbourne City in ACL Elite

With only eight spots available, Kobe's perfect start carries extra weight.

Overview

Koya Yuruki struck in stoppage time to seal a 1-0 victory, capitalizing after Melbourne City failed to clear a long Shuichi Gonda clearance.
Vissel Kobe top the east league on six points, two clear of Ulsan HD, Sanfrecce Hiroshima and FC Seoul after Ulsan drew 1-1 at Shanghai Shenhua.
Melbourne City remain on zero points from two matches and are the only team in the east league yet to register a point.
City captain Aziz Behich said he was proud of the team's effort but hurt by conceding in the final minute.
The format sends the top eight of 12 east teams to knockouts starting in March, with later rounds staged at a centralized venue in Saudi Arabia.
