Kashiwa 1-2 S-Pa (Nabisco Cup)

2-1 - get it up ya, Kashiwa. :) Our group campaign is back on track, but it will all be for nothing if we can't see off the other yellow half of Chiba on Wednesday evening when JEF visit.

Try telling this lot the cup's a waste of time

The biggest concern came when Nagai hobbled off after pulling his hamstring barely five minutes after coming on for Hara. It didn't look too serious, but it's really not the most fortunate state of affairs after the rather hit and miss (more miss, so far) start to his S-Pa career. All the best for a speedy recovery Nagai - looking forward to seeing you banging them in sooner rather than later!

Kick off. Three minutes later we were one up :)

Cheers lads! You made a trip to Japan's armpit worthwhile
