Kanazawa enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Matsumoto Yamaga's place. The match ended 1-0 with Lucão scoring. Preceding that game was the away draw at Ehime that finished 0-0.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of M. Yanagishita when Lucão scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute.
