In one of the most enthralling matches in the J3 League, FC Azul Claro Numazu rallied to narrowly edge out Matsumoto Yamaga FC in a highly contested seven-goal thriller. The match was marked by end to end play and intense competitiveness culminating in a 4-3 victory for the visiting side.

From the onset, Matsumoto Yamaga FC took an early lead, opening their account only roughly halfway into the first half. However, FC Azul Claro Numazu was quick to retaliate with two back-to-back goals shifting the momentum in their favor. The hosts were able to equalize late in the first half (42:28), driving the game into a stalemate as they shifted into the second half.

Moving into the second half with a 2-2 scoreline, Matsumoto Yamaga FC initially seized the initiative, taking the lead in the 81st minute (01:20:40). They were however left stunned as FC Azul Claro Numazu hit back with two rapid-fire goals within a span of less than two minutes (01:25:31 and 01:26:49). This comeback displayed a significant testament of FC Azul Claro's attacking vigor and resilience.

In terms of disciplinary action, Matsumoto Yamaga FC had a difficult second half, picking up three yellow cards within four minutes. This was a possible disruption in their game flow and likely affected their defensive organization, giving FC Azul Claro Numazu leverage to grab the late winning goal.

One of the most notable statistical pieces to look at from this game is the corner kicks. With FC Azul Claro Numazu leading in this department, notching up nine in comparison to Matsumoto's five, it's a clear indication of the attacking pressure the away team constantly exerted. Despite losing in terms of the number of yellow cards, they made a good account of themselves in creating more goal-scoring opportunities which hugely contributed to dictating the course and outcome of the match.

In conclusion, the away team's high pressing play, strength in transition, resilient comeback, and ability to capitalize on the home team's defensive lapses and disciplinary indiscretions, were the main factors that determined this exhilarating match. Both teams gave us an exciting display of competitive football, proving that the J3 League is full of suspense-filled moments and unpredictability.
