- 26' A moment of madness from Junya Suzuki on 26 minutes earns him a card. FC Machida Zelvia will be frustrated.
- 31' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Machida Zelvia that had 94 games and scored 116 goals.
- 32' It’s a booking for FC Machida Zelvia player. Kai Shibato gets a card.
- 37' Vissel Kobe started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 37.
