Japanese side complete the greatest* comeback in football history

*Not the greatest, but still bloody brilliant

Robert Redmond

Forget about Istanbul in 2005, or Barcelona 1999.

Football’s greatest comeback has just happened in Tokyo… in the Japanese second division.

Okay so maybe it wasn’t the greatest comeback ever, but it’s still pretty damn impressive.

Tokyo Verdy were trailing Gifu 3-0 until the 84th minute, but managed to somehow complete a ridiculous comeback, scoring the winner in the 96th minute. Incredible.

We’ll admit to not catching a lot of second division Japanese football, but we may have to reconsider based on this game.
