The match, goal by goal
3 of the 6 goals came after half-time. 1 goal in second-half stoppage time.
21' Kotaro Arima (Oita Trinita) 1-0
Twenty-one minutes passed at Kurasus Dome Oita before the deadlock broke, Kotaro Arima putting the hosts in front at 1-0. It was the first change to the scoreline, and Oita Trinita never surrendered the lead that followed, closing the match out 5-1. Arima's goal was the first of two the home side would score before the interval.
41' Yasushi Nishimura (Oita Trinita) 2-0
Oita Trinita doubled the advantage in the 41st minute through Yasushi Nishimura for 2-0. Coming twenty minutes after Kotaro Arima's opener, it left Albirex Niigata two goals adrift before the break. The cushion lasted only three minutes, as Niigata responded before the half was out.
44' Jason Geria (Albirex Niigata) 2-1
Albirex Niigata's reply arrived just before the interval. Jason Geria scored in the 44th minute to make it 2-1, pulling the visitors back to within a goal only three minutes after Yasushi Nishimura's strike. It would remain Niigata's only goal of the afternoon.
49' Matheus Leiria (Oita Trinita) 3-1
The second half settled the question of that one-goal margin almost immediately. Matheus Leiria scored in the 49th minute for 3-1, restoring the two-goal cushion Oita Trinita had held before the interval. It came four minutes after the restart, following the late first-half concession.
56' 宮川 歩己 (Oita Trinita) 4-1
Seven minutes after Matheus Leiria's goal, Oita Trinita struck again in the 56th minute to lead 4-1. The hosts had now scored twice within the opening eleven minutes of the second half. Whatever hope the one-goal margin at the interval had offered Albirex Niigata was gone by this point.
90'+5 Shinya Utsumoto (Oita Trinita) 5-1
The final goal of the afternoon came in additional time. Shinya Utsumoto scored in the 90+5th minute for 5-1, the score that stood at the end of this Meiji Yasuda J2 League meeting at Kurasus Dome Oita on 17 October 2026. It was Oita Trinita's fifth of the match and the only change to the scoreline after the 56th minute.
