Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Tokushima Vortis & Fukuyama City face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Emperor Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Not much time to rest for the team playing at home, as they were involved in a J2-League game only three days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Ryūkyū.
