Head Coach Poyatos said, "I thought the game would turn out like this. I think Yokohama F. Marinos needed to win the match. They played a defensive game in the first half, but they played well and maintained good control. I think we could have played a little better from the start of the second half. However, they created a good flow, including with substitutions, and showed good reaction from there. I think they played a really good game, and their good plays led to good goals. I'm very happy."

Q: "Why did you bring on Mitsuda when the score was 0-0?"
Head Coach Poyatos said, "The composition of the midfield is very important for us. We've had a string of games up until now, and there will be more to come, so I chose Mitsuda in that position to give him a rest. He showed quick vertical play and I think he made solid moves. It's not his natural position, but he adapted well to it, showed his true colors, and I think he progressed in a good way."
