James Taylor and Jon Steele begin this episode with a very quick look back at the Emperor’s Cup 2nd round games involving J2 teams (to 07:40). Then they move onto league action and discuss Akita v Shimizu (to 15:45) and Yamaguchi v Iwaki (to 26:55), pick their Most Bravo Players (to 34:10), and look ahead to the weekend’s fixtures (to end).
