The home team established dominance late in the game, and despite signs of aggressive play accounting for three yellow cards, they managed to secure the win.

The goal scoring began quite early as JEF United Ichihara Chiba opened the scoreboard with the first strike at the 36'13" mark of the first half. However, Kagoshima United retaliated with a swift equalizer at 15'23". The tie was broken in the second half, when Chiba sealed their victory with a second goal at 06'36".

In an interesting contrast, Kagoshima United were awarded more corner kicks (5) than JEF United Ichihara Chiba (3). Despite having more opportunities in advantageous positions, Kagoshima United failed to convert these set pieces into goals.

One could suggest the home team's victory was far from easy as they played on the edge. Following the lead goal in the second half, JEF United felt the pressure intensely. This was evident with the home side receiving three yellow cards, compared to the away side who only received one. JEF United's first yellow card arrived at 47'14" and two more followed late in the second half at 34'01" and 37'10". However, despite exerting the pressure on their defence and showing signs of aggressive play, they managed to hold onto their slim lead, thanks to excellent defence strategies enacted after scoring the second goal.

Summing up, the deciding factors of the game were JEF United's ability to capitalize on their goal-scoring opportunities and maintain their defence, despite the high-pressure stakes, as seen with the number of yellow cards issued in the latter half. Kagoshima United, although they had more corner kicks representing attacking opportunities, weren't able to translate them into actual scores, therefore giving the home side the advantage to win the match.
