Preview

The deadlock was broken on the 10th minute when Gabriel found the net, tipping the balance in Yokohama's favor. This was followed by goals from Riyo Kawamoto and Yuri Lara, bringing the match to a 1-2 conclusion.

The spotlight turns to the field where Thespa Kusatsu and Yokohama square off once more, 5 months after the previous J-League 2 face-off that concluded in a 1-0 victory for Yokohama. With losses to Shimizu S-Pulse and Ventforet Kofu, Thespa Kusatsu's form has dipped ahead of this clash, leaving them without a victory in their last three outings. Focusing on defensive improvements could pave the way for better results, as their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last four home matches.
