Round 1

Gifu Second vs Japan Soccer College

Round 1 of the 2009 Emperor's Cup started off without too many upsets. Highlights included Renofa Yamaguchi's PK win over JFL Mitsubishi Jidousha Mizushima and Matsumoto Yamaga's 1-0 win over JFL FC Kariya. In Akita, Sony Sendai won the JFL Tohoku battle by beating TDK 2-1. Perhaps two of the most unexpected results were New Wave Kitakyuushuu's loss to Nihon Bunri University and Nara Club's 1-0 victory over Saurucos Fukui.
