Grampus move three points clear of Vissel at the top of Group A in Yamazaki Nabisco Cup qualifying, with a comfortable 4-2 win over Urawa at Toyota Stadium. The win puts them in with a strong chance of clinching qualifying for the knock-out stage next week, when they travel to Kyoto.
Goals by Ogawa, Sugimoto, Maki and Tsuda mean that Nagoya is the only team in Group A with a positive goal difference.
