Nagoya Bow Out of Nabisco Cup

Grampus put in a much improved performance in the second leg of their quarter-final against FC Tokyo, but the 5-1 thrashing in the first leg proved too high a hurdle. Although manager Stojkovic made all the right comments after the game, I doubt he will be devastated by the failure to get through to the next final, and add yet more games to our schedule.
