Report 

Cerezo were a team with a mission. They'd just watched their relegation rivals Gamba Osaka and Omiya Ardija win 5-0. To be fair Osaka's passing when it mattered was dangerous and penetrating, and that was where their goals came from.

Onwards and upwards. Home to league title hopefuls Sendai this Saturday. I'll be in England from Friday, so the blog update may be erratic for the next couple of weeks. Please bare with us! Saturday's game is at 5am UK time, so jetlag permitting I may even be up for live Twitter ranting and raving.
