FC Gifu 1 - 0 JEF United Chiba (ht 1-0)
FC Gifu claimed their first ever J1 scalp on sunday, at the same time progressing to the best 8 for the first time in their short history.
In the first half, bar the occassional outbreak by JEF, Gifu looked strong, creating plenty of space and chances. They didn't hit the scoreboard until the 44th minute though, when Yoshimoto kicked a loose ball in from a corner-kick.
JEF came out firing in the second half, dominating on the field and setting up chances of their own. They couldn't get on the board though as Gifu's defense stayed strong and in the end suffered another painful loss to add to their season of woes.
Gifu will now face Nagoya Grampus (again! - Yawn...) on December 12th to decide who will get to the best 4 to face either Albirix Niigata or Shimizu S-Pulse.

Youre in luck mate!
SUNDAY 13th 3pm at Mizuho!!
(You could rely on the JFA putting the game in Nagoya though.. oh well, win this game and we're in the money!)
Well i guess i get the chance to sample another stadium's chips
Actually i am over the moon about it being on sunday...who cares if its at the Mizuho....its close...and how can we refuse the chance to beat them in their own back yard....
see ya next weekend mate
Yeah, I'd rather it be in Mizuho than Toyota, I just wish they'd put it at Nagaragawa so that we could still have got something out of it financially, even if we do lose...
