Nagoya Advance to ACL Quarter-finals

Despite a far from convincing performance, the return of Ogawa to the team and gradual return to form by Tamada sees Grampus make the last eight. The 2-1 loss is a bit harsh on Suwan, who played well enough to at least take the game to extra-time. However, their wayward shooting from distance meant that they failed to trouble Narazaki as often as their possession and hustle deserved.
