Sagan were looking to build on their unexpected good start to the debut season in J1 but a high flying Sanfrecce woud not prove to be an easy target. The home team took the lead, though, on 39 minutes from a Mizunuma bullet from 25 yards out.
Hisashi Sato was denied an equaliser early in the 2nd half by a decent save and Morisaki came close from a free kick but Tosu held on for another win, surprising a few more people this season!
