After a moment, the game continued again. The spectacle was also finally over, with one yellow card flying toward Sappotani's player with the number 20. It was the left back, and he complained so fiercely that he even ignored the captain's interference, resulting in a direct yellow card and a warning for a red card.
As for Hakodate Nishi's players, fortunately, they didn't do anything excessive, just letting the captain handle this situation. Makino was also smart enough to keep provoking the other side while still restraining himself, acting as the team's captain to protect his teammates.
This was definitely the best-case scenario for the team, since, as a defensive-oriented team, they couldn't afford to get any player suffering from a yellow card this early. This would only result in a targeted offense from the opponent's side, which would be dangerous in the long run.
