(Having already gone 1-0 down to visitors Oita Trinita, Tokushima Vortis could ill-afford for Jun Aoyama to be dismissed as early as the thirteenth minute for a dangerous challenge on Daiki Takamatsu. Trinita duly punished the home side in a 4-0 victory which saw them climb two places to third in J.League Division Two)
