- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Cerezo Osaka FC and Oita FC Trinita has kicked off!
- 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 10' 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.
- 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Yuya Takazawa suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yuta Toyokawa, as he is very good at scoring at Yanmar Stadium Nagai with 4 goals in the last 3 games.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cerezo Osaka FC that had 348 games and scored 377 goals.
