Kyoto Sanga filled out the Emperor's Cup semifinal bracket as the J2 side continued their scalping of the J. League with a 1-0 win against Shonan Belllmare on Saturday.
In a tactical tussle between two sides coached by former national team assistants, Brazilian striker Dutra netted the only goal midway through the first half for Kyoto, which had sent holders Kashima Antlers packing in the previous round.
Sanga, who will face J1 heavyweights Yokohama F Marinos in Thursday's semifinal at Tokyo's National Stadium, will be joined in the last four by J2 champions FC Tokyo.
