Vissel Kobe defeated Yokohama FC 1-0, but ended the two matches with a total of 1-2 and disappeared from the tournament.

Kobe, which had lost the first game on the 3rd 0-2, aimed to make a comeback by starting with forward Osako Yuya, forward Muto Yoshinori, and forward Miyashiro Daishiro, but the departure of defender Mateus Tourell in the 26th minute of the first half had a big impact.

With 10 players, Miyashiro was dropped on the bench and he joined defender Yamakawa Tetsushi. Even after one player was reduced, they continued to push the ball more and more, but due to the decrease in the number of attacks, Osako scored only one point in the 39th minute of the second half.

At a press conference, coach Yoshida Takayuki commented, “The players fought despite only one person being the only one. I saw the scene where (Turel) was sent off in the video, but it wasn't hit by the opponent's leg and was on the ground, so I hope the league as a club told me it was a mistake.” He was frustrated by his loss as he was aiming to win all the titles.[Nagata Jun]
