Report

Sadly I didn’t get to watch the match as I had a show in Shinjuku to shoot, but the box score pretty much says it all.  Edmilson let his temper get the best of him and got his dumb ass ejected, Oita decided to play physical for the second half and amassed about as many cautions as a team can amass in a single game, and a stupid tackle by Daisuke Takahashi in stoppage time allowed Yohei Kajiyama the chance to win the game with a PK.  You can read Matsu’s more detailed report over at the Rising Sun here.

Still waiting on the team to score a second goal but maybe the Golden Week Sprint will be just what the doctor ordered.
