Episode 406 - J1 Matchday 3

It was a great pleasure to welcome Nick Bolton (UKSangaUltra) back to the podcast for the first time in almost three years, to chat about all things Kyoto Sanga.

It had been a long time between top flight drinks for Sanga, and they announced their return in some style of course, with their stirring win over Urawa on the opening day, but since then a draw at Cerezo Osaka, and Saturday's controversy-tinged 4-1 defeat at the hands of fellow promoted side Iwata, has brought them back down to earth. Still, it promises to be a terrific season for Cho Kwi Jae's side, and it was great to get Nick's thoughts on it all (to 33:00).

In Part 2 we work our way through the other eight games from the Matchday 3 slate, with a quick look ahead to this weekend's fixtures to wrap up the episode.
