In a stunning upset in the Japanese J.League, Avispa Fukuoka defeated Kawasaki Frontale 5-2 at Uvance Todoroki Stadium. The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored Kawasaki Frontale to win; however, the actual result heavily favored the away side. The game turned on its head with two red cards for Kawasaki Frontale, severely crippling their defensive capabilities. Filip Uremovic was sent off in the 15th minute, followed by Sai Van Wermeskerken just before halftime.
Despite Kento Tachibanada's early goal in the 4th minute and Erison's goal in the 28th, Kawasaki Frontale couldn't withstand Avispa Fukuoka's relentless attack. Shintaro Nago scored twice for Avispa, with Erison scoring an own goal and Shosei Usui and Kazuya Konno adding to the tally. Avispa dominated possession with 69.4% and unleashed 20 shots compared to Kawasaki's 8. Kawasaki's disciplinary issues, with 17 fouls committed and 3 yellow cards, further contributed to their downfall.
Avispa Fukuoka's victory showcased their attacking prowess and tactical discipline, while Kawasaki Frontale's defensive frailties were ruthlessly exposed. Avispa Fukuoka seems to be finding form after some recent draws and the win against Albirex Niigata and is heading into their next game against Kashima Antlers with confidence. Kawasaki Frontale is struggling, with inconsistent results in their previous games, and will need to regroup quickly before their next match against Albirex Niigata. Looking at the previous head-to-head games, Kawasaki usually got the upper hand against Avispa, so the result is even more surprising. The red cards were a key factor in the final result.
