Iwata stayed on thin ice. Playoff: Iwata 3 - 2 Sendai (agg.)
Jubilo Iwata secured 2009 J1 place by beating Vegalta Sendai, 1-1 (in Sendai), 2-1
(in Iwata) on J1/J2 playoff. Iwata, winning J.league three times,
suffered their low performance. The club called on ex-Jubilo, Urawa,
and Japan National team coach Hans Ooft in September. OOft does not
change the team quickly, but selected several new players and finally
achieved his task. Takuya Matsuura, one of Ooft's selection, scored all three
goals for Jubilo. Without Iwata's "Lionel Messi", Iwata could not win
this tough match.
Vegalta Sendai, played J1 matches in 2002 and 2003, couldn't get
the final goal, but they prooved their quality. As the match was very
hard and fair, both supporters tribute each other after the match.
Although there were several troubles of supportes in this season,
league ended with the beautiful scene.
