### Match Report: Ventforet Kofu Come From Behind to Beat Montedio Yamagata 2-1 Ventforet Kofu produced a determined comeback in the Japanese J2 League on 5 September 2026, overturning an early deficit to defeat Montedio Yamagata 2-1 at their host’s ground. The victory was an important one for Kofu in a compact mid-table J2 season, giving them three valuable points and, more importantly, demonstrating their character when trailing. Montedio Yamagata got off to a flying start, taking the lead early in the first half and largely controlling proceedings for extended spells. Yet Kofu grew into the game, equalised before the interval, and then struck a decisive second goal in the second period to secure a fully deserved win. #### Yamagata’s Bright Beginning Yamagata, encouraged by their home support, began with real intent. They pressed Ventforet’s defenders into mistakes and attacked directly down the flanks. That mindset paid off in the 14th minute. A swift passing move down the left side ended with a teasing low cross to the edge of the six-yard box, and the home forward fired home from close range to make it 1-0. Following the goal, Montedio continued to push forward. They forced a string of corners and saw one header crash off the crossbar. Kofu looked rattled for a time, struggling to maintain possession and frequently surrendering the ball in advanced areas. The home supporters sensed another goal, but gradually Kofu adjusted. #### The Fightback Ventforet’s midfield five began to firm up, and the visitors started to build more coherent attacking sequences. Their equaliser arrived in the 38th minute, coming from a well-worked free kick. After a short layoff, the ball was swung into a dangerous central zone, and a Kofu centre-back rose highest to power a header into the top corner. That goal shifted the momentum decisively. Yamagata, perhaps disappointed not to have extended their lead, dropped deeper as the first half drew to a close, allowing Kofu to dominate territory. With the scores level at the break, Kofu felt the stronger side. The winning goal arrived shortly after the hour mark. A perfectly weighted through-ball released Kofu’s right winger in behind the Yamagata defence. His first-time cut-back found a teammate arriving late in the box, and the finish was swept first-time into the net from 12 yards. Yamagata’s goalkeeper had no chance, and the home side found themselves behind against the run of play. #### Tactical Battle Montedio Yamagata’s high press was effective at the start, but it proved physically demanding and difficult to maintain at full intensity. As the half wore on, the spaces between their midfield and defence became larger. Kofu exploited that with quick vertical passes, threading balls between the lines to dangerous attacking runners. Defensively, Kofu were sturdy after the opening 20 minutes. They dealt comfortably with crosses and second balls, and their positioning off the ball prevented Yamagata from carving out many clear-cut chances after the equaliser. #### Standout Players For Ventforet Kofu, the centre-back who scored the equaliser was outstanding, winning every major duel and providing an aerial threat all night. The winger who assisted the winning goal tormented Yamagata’s left-back throughout the second half. Montedio’s scorers and goalkeeper worked hard, but they were ultimately undone by Kofu’s tactical shift after the first half. #### Impact on the J2 Table The win is significant for Ventforet Kofu as they aim to close the gap to the promotion playoff spots. Away victories are hard-earned in J2, and this kind of mental resilience gives them real belief heading into their next fixtures. Montedio Yamagata will be bitterly disappointed to have let an early lead slip, especially after creating several chances at 1-0. They remain a competitive side in this division, but they must convert dominant periods into more goals in future matches.
