ajiako saw most attack opportunities on the wings. ajiako had a chance to take the lead after K. Matsumara's dazzling drive up the left, but the opportunity fizzled out as his shot went just over the bar after 5 minutes. Attacking on the wings was the choice for ajiako, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. ajiako fans held their breath as 康. 片桐 (Katagiri) scampered down the left side. He successfully avoided all challenges and cracked home the shot for 1 - 0! With 15 minutes played, ajiako's well-worked indirect free kick caused havoc in the penalty area, and when the ball eventually fell to B. Cuñada he gleefully slotted the ball home to make it 2 - 0. J. Hirayama should probably have put his team up another goal after 16 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by J. Ikina kept the visitors in the game. ajiako were determined to attack on the wing and their central attempts were constantly abandoned in favour of the wings. With 21 minutes played, ajiako put themselves up 3 - 0 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to A. Militaru, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. After this, you could see that the players of ajiako were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. Halftime score was 3 - 0. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by ajiako, with 85 percent of the ball.

Cheers filled the stadium as B. Cuñada broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 0 to ajiako. After 75 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and 康. 片桐 (Katagiri) gave the ajiako supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 5 - 0. A. Militaru of ajiako received a yellow card after 76 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. After 81 minutes, ajiako's 洋. 木村 (Kimura) fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! Players in ajiako heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. 洋. 木村 (Kimura) increased the lead for ajiako to 6 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Things were going to get worse for the visitors. J. Geldmacher squirmed through their central defence after 84 minutes, increasing the lead to 7 - 0. ajiako had most of the ball, with 88 percent of possession.

ajiako's top performer was clearly J. Geldmacher. B. Cuñada on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important Hokkaido player was S. Kawagichi. However, J. Ikina made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 7 - 0.
