Al Ittihad turned around a big deficit en route to its first continental title in 2004, so Gabriel Calderon's lineup is not likely to take anything for granted despite taking a four-goal cushion into Wednesday's Asian Champions League semifinal clash against Nagoya.

Calderon's squad beat Nagoya Grampus 6-2 in the first leg and travels to Japan for the return match confident of securing a place in the Nov. 7 final.
