Kawasaki Frontale lost 0-1 against Niigata Swan last weekend, and have only 1 win in the league this season.
The team has a number of players missing due to injuries and the strikers made a lot of mistakes in passing during the game. However, there are some good points in the team, one of which is the performance of Miyashiro Daisuke, a winger who is often found in the shooting position and has made a number of on-target strikes.
Osaka Sakura beat Tosu Sandwiches 2-1 on Sunday with goals from Shinji Kagawa and Rikuji Kato to record their first league win since the start of the season. The team is gradually regaining the foundation and good performance of last season, including the return of key players, and the team's defense is also well coordinated, which led to the first goal in the last match.
Shinji Kagawa made his debut for Cerezo Osaka in their win over Tosu Sandwiches. Shinji's role is very important in determining whether the team will launch a quick counter-attack or take their time to organize the attack after getting the ball.
