URAWA RED DIAMONDS CAPTURE AFC CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CROWN

At Saitama, Japan:

In Saturday's second game of the AFC Champions League, Rafael Silva scored the series-winning goal in the 88th minute as the Urawa Red Diamonds defeated visiting Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia 1-0 in game two and took the championship 2-1 on aggregate.

The title was the Red Diamonds' second continental championship, their first in ten years.

The Japanese club will play in the quarterfinal round of next month's FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
