Match Overview

Tegevajaro Miyazaki secured a crucial 2–1 home victory over Ventforet Kofu on 6 June 2026, with a spirited second‑half comeback that delighted the fans at Unilever Stadium Shintomi. After falling behind to an early Kofu goal, Miyazaki rallied with two quick strikes before the interval and held on through a tense second half to claim three valuable points in the J2/J3 100 Year Vision League.

First Half: Early Setback and Swift Response

Ventforet Kofu started brightly and took the lead in the 19th minute. Experienced forward Yoshiki Otsuka latched onto a through ball and calmly slotted past Miyazaki goalkeeper Ryo Tachibana. The visitors looked comfortable, but their advantage lasted only nine minutes.

Miyazaki equalised in the 28th minute when winger Kota Ueda cut inside from the left and unleashed a curling shot that beat Kofu keeper Takuya Yamada at his near post. The momentum shifted completely, and just five minutes later, Miyazaki took the lead. A corner was only half‑cleared, and midfielder Shogo Nishida crashed a first‑time volley into the roof of the net from 12 yards.

Second Half: Defensive Grit Seals the Win

The second half was a battle of attrition. Ventforet Kofu dominated possession and pushed forward in search of an equaliser, but Miyazaki’s defence, marshalled by centre‑back Yusuke Hirai, remained resolute. Kofu’s best chance came in the 73rd minute when substitute Kaito Araki hit the crossbar from just inside the box.

Miyazaki survived several late set‑piece scares and managed the game intelligently, running down the clock without resorting to panic. The final whistle sparked celebrations among the home fans, who recognised the importance of the win against a traditionally stronger side.
