Player to watch: Ryo Germain
Ryo Germain is having arguably the best season of his career, highlighted by a stellar performance against Kawasaki Frontale, where he scored four times in a nine-goal thriller.
As it stands, only two players in Japan's top flight have scored more goals than Germain this season. However, while the former Yohohama FC player has 11 goals to his name, he did not score in his last three matches.
