The match was a thrilling spectacle with an impressive goal fest of 12 goals, and was also characterized by a disciplined performance from Urawa Red Diamonds, who collected no yellow cards, and superior attacking play, specifically corner kicks from Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies.

Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies started the match assertively by scoring the opening goal in the 19th minute of the first half. However, their early lead was compromised when Inac Kobe Leonessa struck back in the 95th minute of the second half, equalizing and setting the platform for their eventual 7-5 victory.
