Kamatamare's defender rose highest to power a header past the Ehime goalkeeper, sending the home fans into raptures. Ehime FC responded with increased pressure, creating several half-chances, but they were unable to find a way past a determined Sanuki backline. The match result sees Kamatamare Sanuki pick up a valuable three points in their campaign, while Ehime FC will be disappointed to leave empty-handed from a match where they had periods of dominance. The post-match voices highlighted the intensity, with the Sanuki manager praising his team's heart and the Ehime coach lamenting his side's lack of cutting edge in the final third.
