Yokohama's concentrated football held Urawa attack off.
Their tough defense and persistent long ball feeds to Urawa's side space controlled the game.
Yokohama coach Okada Takeshi studied Urawa a lot and his team was very aggressive.
2nd leg is on Saturday. How does Urawa coach Guido Buchwald take his honest offensive football back in Urawa.
Yet another referee issue. Mr. Okada Masayoshi had been a most respected referee. But his judge's precision is not comparable to the days of his top form. We need referees suitable for the match quality.
