- 10' Tatsuhiro Sakamoto has been relatively quiet despite scoring 21 goals in his last 369 appearances.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo and Cerezo Osaka FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' Cerezo Osaka FC is showing some good football. However, Cerezo Osaka FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 51' Magnificent from Riki Matsuda! That is 1 goals in 369 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
