Grampus Advance to ACL Semis

A late Josh Kennedy strike, sees Nagoya advance to the next stage of the ACL with a 3-1 win in the home leg. After a first half which saw the ties finely poised at 2-1, Nagoya's slightly fresher legs eventually began to tell. Their ever increasing pressure towards the Frontale goal eventually resulted in Magnum being left free as the defenders followed the Aussie in pursuit of a cross. Although Kawasahima managed to parry Magnum;s effort the ball fell loose for Josh to stab home from all of a few inches.

More details and starting lineups to follow (when I am sober again ).
