With the hardware in sight, Antlers coach Oswaldo Oliveira said:
"Although the score was 1-0, we created many chances. If we had scored earlier, it would have been easier for us to play. We must steady ourselves and keep our concentration for the remaining two games."

Urawa Red Diamonds 2-1. Takuma Edamura gave the visitors the lead twenty-two minutes into the match before Marcus Tulio Tanaka's heroics brought the match level with twenty-two minutes remaining. However with seven minutes remaining Takuro Yajima shocked the home crowd and gave S-Pa the victory. Possibly the biggest surprise of the weekend was Kawasaki Frontale complete detonation of Gamba Osaka with a 4-0 victory.
