It was a J-League defeat before that one as the away game against Yokohama F. Marinos wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Vissel manager A. Miura as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Urawa Reds.
The travelling fans enjoy Vissel's attacking play in away games, having scored 11 goals in 7 league matches away. Vissel have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.
