WORLD Cup-winning coach Marcello Lippi led his new Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande into the AFC Champions League quarterfinals with a narrow 1-0 victory over FC Tokyo yesterday.
Brazilian striker Cleo's strike on the half-hour decided a pulsating match in front of a vociferous home crowd at Guangzhou's Tianhe Stadium as the host got over the line despite spurning a host of chances.
At the other end, Tokyo's Brazilian forward Lucas saw a late header come back off the post as the Emperor's Cup-holder came within inches of forcing extra time.
The win, in only Lippi's third game in charge, takes the highly ambitious Chinese champion into the last eight of Asia's club showcase and a step closer to its goal of winning the continental title.
