With four goals in J-League, Nakamura is Sanfrecce Hiroshima’s top scorer in the league, while also being their most creative player, providing six assists in the league so far. Supporting them are Naoto Arai, Hayato Araki and Kosuke Kinoshita, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Sanfrecce Hiroshima’s attack.

Meanwhile, Vissel Kobe’s top finisher Taisei Miyashiro and Erik have played important roles in ensuring their attack, shaped by Takayuki Yoshida’s vision, remains effective. Miyashiro has emerged as Vissel Kobe’s leading scorer in J-League this season, netting nine goals, with Sasaki leading their creative tally in the league with five assists.
