The encounter between Ehime FC and Ventforet Kofu culminated in a goalless draw, underscoring the defensive discipline and strategic resilience of both sides. While neither team managed to break the deadlock, the match statistics reveal key aspects about the match dynamics. Ehime FC, despite having the edge in corner kicks at three to Ventforet’s one, failed to capitalise on set-piece opportunities, reflecting a lack of incisiveness in the attacking third.

Both teams were evenly matched with regards to disciplined aggression, each committing ten fouls, although Ventforet Kofu demonstrated slightly less discipline with the issuance of a solitary yellow card. This card, issued just over an hour into the second half, marked a brief lapse in their defensive composure but did not significantly impact the overall balance of the game. Neither side received any red cards, highlighting that while competitive, the match was played within sportsmanlike confines.

Offensively, Ehime FC was caught offside three times compared to Kofu’s one, revealing a more ambitious approach in attempting to breach the visitor’s defense, albeit unsuccessfully. Ventforet Kofu's ability to maintain a well-organised defensive line meant that Ehime's attempted forward surges were effectively neutralised. Consequently, neither team decisively imposed themselves in the offensive phases, resulting in a lack of goal-scoring opportunities.
