In this J2 League encounter, Iwaki FC asserted themselves with a decisive 3-1 victory over Kataller Toyama, backed by a robust performance and efficient attacking. Iwaki's strength lay in their tactical execution and ability to capitalize on opportunities, notably marked by their nine corner kicks compared to Toyama’s four, showcasing their persistent pressure in the final third. The match's opening goal and subsequent momentum were crucially set by Iwaki at the 00:42:52 mark in the first half.

Iwaki's clinical finishing was a standout feature, with three goals scored despite the inadequacy of off-target striker missteps, highlighting their precise shot selection and conversion rate. This precision was apparent in their second-half dominance, where they efficiently extended their lead to 3-0 before Toyama's late retaliatory goal. Such efficiency nullified the competitive edge Toyama desired, despite the latter’s late but insufficient scoring efforts.

The competitive nature of the match also came through in their disciplined defensive play. Both teams exhibited relatively clean plays, evidenced by a modest tally of fouls—eight by Iwaki and three by Toyama—and only one yellow card each. This balanced approach kept the game flowing, although Iwaki’s tactical fouling was slightly more pronounced, likely part of a broader defensive strategy that successfully stifled Toyama's attacking advances, allowing Iwaki to control the game's tempo efficiently.
