Kashima Antlers defeated Kawasaki Frontale 1-0 in the quarter-finals of Japan's Nabisco Cup yesterday.
Mitsuo Ogasawara scored the only goal, six minutes from time, to give the Antlers the win but he was realistic about going in to the second leg just one goal ahead.
"It was good as we won at home, but we still have the second leg away," Ogasawara said.
"We'd like to win that again and move on to win the cup, which we haven't won for a long time."
