- 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mutsuki Kato made 369 appearances and scored 22 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 46' Daiki Suga is replacing Shunki Higashi for the Sanfrecce Hiroshima side.
- 51' 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 Boniface Nduka suffering a number of foals already.
