The season of soccer J1 started on the 26th, and Kawasaki Frontale, aiming for consecutive championships, defeated Yokohama F. Marinos 2-0 and started with a white star.
Frontale, who won the J1 fastest in history last season, played against F. Marinos, who is aiming to win the opening game at Todoroki Stadium at home for the first time in two years.
In the 21st minute of the first half, Akihiro Ienaga took the lead with a volley shot, and in the 43rd minute, the patriarch scored a goal again and won 2-0, marking the opening round with a white star.
J1 was not demoted last season due to the impact of the new coronavirus, so this season it will be held with 20 teams, two more than usual, and the bottom four teams will be automatically demoted.
On the 27th, eight games will be held, including Gamba Osaka, who was second in last season, playing against Vissel Kobe.
