- 5' 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 Hokuto Shimoda suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vissel Kobe that had 444 games and scored 467 goals.
