  • 27' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ryuji Izumi, as he is very good at scoring at Yanmar Stadium Nagai with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 32' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 37' Cerezo Osaka FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
