Hiroshima's forward trio scored the first goal with a vivid collaboration.

With six shots in the game in place, midfielder Kawabe Shun (29) passed the ball to left side forward Nakamura Sota (22) from near the center circle. From there, Nakamura suddenly moved it to the center in front of the penalty area and passed it to forward Jermain Ryo (30), who was on the right side. Jermaine immediately turned back to the center, and in the end forward Maeda Naoki (30) shook the net with his right foot.

After the first half, Hiroshima took a 1-0 lead.
