Japan national team midfielder Doan Ritsu (27), who plays the team for Eintracht Frankfurt, played the full game against Leberkusen away, but lost 1-3.
Doan, who participated in the Japan national team's US expedition, left the national team after playing in the first match against Mexico, due to the “circumstances of his team” being held. They were in perfect condition to ensure that they were able to win three consecutive wins in a row.
He played as a right midfielder with a 4-2-3-1 appearance. He repeatedly sprinted both offensively and defensively, showing off his sharp ball handling.
Doan was involved in the team's goals. The seventh minute of the second half allowed a two-point lead in the first half. He played the kicker with a right corner kick, and he rolled the ball sharply with his left foot and sent out the ball. If the opponent is pushed by the power of the ball, he will not be able to bounce back greatly with just a single heading, causing it to become shorter. With the line in the area in a crossroads, midfielder Uzun finally kicked in with his left foot to make it one point.
In the 13th minute of the second half, opposing midfielder Andrich's dribbling became larger, and he took the ball to the target, but the opponent's tackle quickly went into his left ankle. He fell on the pitch but it didn't really matter. Andrich was sent off with the second yellow.
He attacked Leberkusen, which had only reached 10, but was unable to push through. Doan aimed to enter the goal with a one-two-two position with his allies from a right wide position, but he struggled with the opponent's intense checks and was unable to create a chance for a scoring opportunity.
Then, in the second half of the match, Leberkusen defender Fernandez was fouled and sent off in the second yellow. They put pressure on the opponent, which had been nine, and aimed for a tie, but on the other hand, they were hit by the counter and gave a free kick in front of their own goal.
In the 10th minute of the first half, midfielder Grimaldo scored a free kick with his left foot from a similar distance, but as if to recreate this, he hit the right post with a curve kick and went into the goal. He was defeated by two points by a magical left foot that looked like a precision machine, and was defeated by a two-pointer.
Leberkusen's extra time in the first half was also scored as a forward chic finish from a penalty shoot. All four goals born on this day were all set pieces involved.
E Frankfurt suffered their first loss in the third match of the season, reaching 2 wins and 1 loss. Leberkusen, on the other hand, won his first victory of the season.
