Hoang Anh Gia Lai Arsenal JMG's under-17 team stormed into the quarter finals of the Sanix Cup in Japan yesterday, beating Queensland Academy of Sport 4-0 in their final group game.

Drawn in group A, JMG made a stuttering start to their campaign with a 2-1 defeat against the host team on Thursday. But they bounced back in game two to see off Hangzhou Green Town of China 1-0 and their latest win means they enter the latter stages of the tournament brimming with confidence.
