Ueslei Pounces to Deny Grampus In Nabisco Cup Semis

Former Grampus striker, Ueslei capitalized on a rare Shoehei Abe error to earn Oita Trinita an away draw in the first leg of Nabisco Cup semi-final at Nagoya. The 1-1 draw meant that Trinita have the advantage of a away goal an that Grampus would need to win, or at least earn 2-2 draw to go through to the final. The Brazilian then struck the only goal in the return leg to put Oita into the final against Shimizu S-Pulse.
