- 9' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yoshiki Matsushita made 422 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 14' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kawasaki Frontale that had 418 games and scored 530 goals.

- 61' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
