Goalkeeper Akio Tani made three stops in a penalty shootout for the first time this season in the J League, leading Machida to victory. The match ended 1-1, and in the second half Kawasaki F’s forward Erik was sent off. Eriki took the lead in the first half from Yuki Soma’s cross, but Ellison tied the score 14 minutes into the second half.
