A 2-2 result against Kagoshima United (after extra-time, 4-1 on penalties) before that, played at home in the Emperor Cup.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Kitakyushu as they are travelling to their away game against Fagiano Okayama in the Emperor Cup. That match is four days after this one.
