An unbelievable "Day vs Night" result at the Osaka derby. The Cerezo PR machine had shifted into high gear in preparation for the ever-popular derby match, the first of the season, with tons of events and a festive atmosphere in and around the stadiuma. No one would have predicted such a complete routing.

Last year, Fernandinho had to play second fiddle to the likes of Araujo and Oguro. But any worries by fans about whether they can depend on him this year to be a central figure in scoring were put to rest with his first career hattrick. Not to be outdone, Magno Alves took the baton in the last portion of the game with a hattrick of his own, as Cerezo fell apart and left the pitch wondering where their cohesion of last season had gone.
