Erison wins it after the whistle should have gone
93 minutes played. Erison found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Yokohama F. Marinos went from a point to nothing inside one movement.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Erison scores twice — 8.89
Two goals and a mark of 8.89 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Match8 Aug 2026
Kawasaki Frontale get the job done against Yokohama F. Marinos
A 3‑2 win over Yokohama F. Marinos, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Kawasaki Frontale promote Genki Inoue from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Genki Inoue has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Gaku Morita steps up from the Kawasaki Frontale academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Gaku Morita has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Junya Ito steps up from the Kawasaki Frontale academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Junya Ito has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
