The first day of autumn yielded impressive away day derby wins for both Shimizu S-Pulse and Omiya Ardija. 33,678 fans turned out for the Shizuoka derby at Ecopa Stadium in Fukuroi, but it was the Shimizu fans who were rewarded for making the seventy kilometre journey south, as Cho Jae-Jin's last minute goal handed S-Pulse a dramatic 1-0 win.
