Vs Fagiano Okayama (away) 14/8/19 - Emperor's Cup 3rd round

Fagiano Okayama 1 - 2 Kawasaki Frontale (AET) 

We're through! Just about... This game was particularly mysterious as there was no way of watching it apart from going to the stadium. Hardly a vintage performance and finally Oniki decided to play a right back. Two in fact, therefore another player playing out of position! Slightly worrying that we went behind with our two best centre backs playing, who will both be banned for the next league match. Damiao scored again, but very late, and we left it late into extra time to get the winner. Seems from twitter that there were a few dubious refereeing decisions, but aren't there always? Hopefully the squad have been able to get home as all the shinkansens on Thursday morning were cancelled due to the typhoon. A delayed return after a match which went to extra time isn't the best preparation for another away game in Sendai on Saturday. Fingers crossed, eh?
