Kawasaki Frontale lost to Oita Trinita 0-1 and could not decide to win. If G Osaka draws or loses to Urawa on the 22nd during the decentralized celebration, Kawasaki F will win the league title for the first time in two years on the day that he has not played for the first time in J1 history.

Kawasaki F took the lead by giving a PK in the 34th minute of the first half with a free kick that DF Taniguchi was forced to abandon. In the second half, 10 people attacked, but could not score the goal until the end.

It was the seventh game of the season that allowed the first goal. In the last 6 games, he has won 4 wins and 2 losses, and although there is only one player less, he was expected to win in the opposite direction. The number of points scored for the first half up to the previous section is 27 points in the first half → 47 points in the second half. Even if he was overtaken, he didn’t budge and went up the pace in the second half and racked up 3 points.

However, in Oita’s match today, when he won the J1 title, he was under pressure to win, or the number of shots was 7 to 10. The decision to win was carried over after losing with no points.

By the way, in J2, there is an example where Tokyo in 2011 decided to win the championship on a day when there was no match. After winning the Toritori match on November 19 and deciding to move up to J1 with two games remaining, the championship was decided because Torisu, who was in second place, lost to Kitakyushu the next day.

Also, Shonan in 2017 decided to promote to J1 on the day when there was no match. Fukuoka, who came second in the competition for promotion on October 28, tied with Tokyo V, thus being confirmed to be in second place in Shonan’s J1 automatic promotion zone, where there was no match. Director Shonan Soki (at the time) inspected the Tokyo V-Fukuoka match and said, “I didn’t expect the promotion to be decided when there was no match for us.” Shonan confirmed the J2 championship by drawing against Okayama the next day.
