In this closely contested J2 League match between Ventforet Kofu and Vegalta Sendai, the away team emerged victorious with a 2-1 win, primarily due to their efficiency in taking early chances. Vegalta Sendai managed to break the deadlock in the 28th minute of the first half and doubled their lead shortly into the second half. This demonstrated their ability to capitalize on critical opportunities and exert immediate pressure on the home side.

Ventforet Kofu, despite having a slight advantage in maintained discipline with zero offsides, struggled to convert this precision into converting scoring opportunities, as indicated by their single goal despite matching Vegalta's number of total shots. Their solitary goal, scored minutes after Vegalta's second, did reflect their resilience and ability to respond under pressure but was insufficient to overturn the deficit.

While the home side maintained a solid discipline, accumulating only two yellow cards with limited fouls, this did not translate into a tactical advantage. Vegalta Sendai’s slightly greater number of corners (4 compared to Ventforet’s 3) highlighted their more aggressive attacking play. The absence of yellow cards for Vegalta Sendai underscored their ability to maintain effective pressure without conceding chances through impulsive challenges, contributing significantly to their overall control and success in the match.
