  • 20' Vegalta Sendai are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 25' 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 Shun Nagasawa suffering a number of foals already.

  • 60' Shingo Hyodo was booked on 60.
  • 65' A tactical swap from Vegalta Sendai — Ryang Yong Gi on, Shingo Hyodo off on 65 minutes.
