The S-League side mounted a two-goal comeback in the final five minutes to beat the Filipinos 3-2 (5-4 on aggregate). Global scored a penalty in the fifth minute but Song levelled in the 36th. The visitors regained the lead through Shu Sasaki's header in the second half but had Dennis Villanueva sent off in the 71st minute. Home struck back with striker Stipe Plazibat's late brace (89th, 94th) sealing the dramatic win. They face either Malaysia's Johor Darul Takzim or the Philippines' Ceres Negros in the zonal final.
