HONG KONG (Reuters) - Junior Negrao's penalty deep in extra time earned Ulsan Hyundai a date with Iran's Persepolis in next week's final of the Asian Champions League after a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Japan's Vissel Kobe in Doha on Saturday.

The Brazilian drove his effort from the spot into the bottom corner a minute from the end of extra time to take Ulsan into the final for the first time since their only previous Asian title win in 2012.
