Avispa, meanwhile, qualified with a routine 2-0 home win over Imabari. Second-half strikes from Wellington and Ryoga Sato helped them claim the win. They will now turn their attention back to the league scene, where their last game was a 2-1 home defeat to Gamba Osaka. Nagoya, meanwhile, claimed a 3-1 home win over Cerezo Osaka.
