I'm always worried that when I discuss in depth a team that is finding its groove in this blog, I am somehow going to jinx them. Which was why I was a little worried about seeing the J2 results today; I actually put it off for a while. Of course, I HAD to look eventually, and what a relief to find that after all I went on about them yesterday, Sagan Tosu were able to get a clean win against Sendai 1-0. And the first time at their home stadium too. The goal was a beautiful long range shot (30 meters) from Takabayashi. The story of new heroes continues for Sagan, as this was Takabayashi's first league goal. In 13 rounds he's made it to the bench 3 times, and this was his first time starting, so he is another one of Sagan's fresh new "lucky boys".

Anyway, whew! I'm not bad luck afterall!

Sagan are now in 2nd Place, another first for this team's history books.
