The Chinese side will meet the European champion in the semifinal of the Club World Cup after a stunning late comeback against the Mexican club.
A stoppage-time header from Paulinho completed a late comeback for Guangzhou Evergrande as the Asian side defeated Club America 2-1 in the Club World Cup quarterfinal on Sunday.
With a meeting with Spanish and European champion Barcelona on the line, Guangzhou looked to be heading for defeat as the side trailed 1-0 with 10 minutes remaining in Osaka.
Oribe Peralta had given America the lead early in the second period, only for substitute Zheng Long to restore parity in the 80th minute.
