As expected, Japan's first choice goalkeeper, Seigo Narazaki made a return to action in this game. This marked his first game at top level action since breaking a finger in the game against Gamba on 23 August. This game also saw Australian international Kennedy make a return after his somewhat shorter absence of a couple of games. Unfortunately, the team was unable to celebrate the influential duo's return with a victory as the closely fought contest ended 0-0.
