Episode 517 - J1 Matchday 9

Our new episode features a full breakdown of all nine J1 Matchday 9 games played over the weekend, beginning with Machida returning to the top of the table after a controversy-tinged Tokyo Derby victory over FC Tokyo, and Cerezo Osaka slipping off the summit after their first loss of the season, away at Nagoya.

We then move on to a trio of 1-0 away wins for Gamba Osaka, Kobe and Niigata, before Tosu's big day out at home against Kashima, as Sagan hauled themselves off the foot of the table. The three Matchday 9 draws round out our review, before we look ahead to the upcoming midweek and weekend action.
