The matchup between Avispa Fukuoka and Yokohama F. Marinos was a tightly contested encounter, characterized by strategic plays and key turning points. The game concluded with Avispa Fukuoka narrowly edging out Yokohama F. Marinos with a 2-1 victory. The home team's ability to capitalize on their offensive opportunities proved crucial, particularly visible in the second half when they sealed their victory. Despite early pressure from Yokohama, evidenced by their quick goal in the 11th minute, Avispa Fukuoka responded resiliently.

The statistical parity in corner kicks, with both teams recording four each, highlights balanced set-piece opportunities, yet Avispa Fukuoka demonstrated superior execution in open play. Yokohama F. Marinos’ early advantage did not translate into dominance, partly due to Avispa’s effective management of possession and transitions, leading to their equalizer in the first half. Notably, the decisive play came in the second half at 80:30, showing Avispa's tactical adjustments paid off.

In terms of disciplinary actions, Avispa Fukuoka's higher foul count of 15 compared to Yokohama's 7 indicates a more aggressive approach to disrupting Yokohama’s play, though they managed to keep the yellow card tally even. This slightly aggressive defensive strategy by the home team was pivotal in curbing the momentum of Yokohama F. Marinos, as their fewer fouls and balanced offsides did not suffice. Ultimately, Avispa’s ability to sustain pressure and adapt tactically dictated the outcome, with efficient shot conversion being a decisive factor.
