The 2019 J.League Cup Final was an association football match between Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo and Kawasaki Frontale on 26 October 2019 at Saitama Stadium. It was the 27th edition J.League Cup, organised by the J.League. Consadole Sapporo were playing in their first J.League Cup final, having never previously made it beyond the quarter-final stage. Kawasaki Frontale were playing in their fifth J.League Cup final, most recently finishing runners-up in 2017 where they lost 2–0 to Cerezo Osaka.[1]
Yusuke Araki was the referee for the match, which was played in front of 48,119 spectators. The match was tied 1–1 at half-time following goals from Daiki Suga and Hiroyuki Abe. Kawasaki scored an 88th-minute goal through Yu Kobayashi but Consadole grabbed a late equalizer to take the game to extra time. Consadole took the lead again in the 99th minute with a free-kick goal by Akito Fukumori, following a foul in which a red-card was shown to Kawasaki defender Shogo Taniguchi. In the 109th minute, Yu Kobayashi scored his second for Kawasaki, tying the game at 3–3. Neither team could find a winning goal so it was decided by a penalty shoot-out. Kawasaki eventually won 5–4 on penalties and were crowned champions of a domestic cup competition for the first time.[2]
As winners, Kawasaki Frontale earned the right to play against the winners of the 2019 Copa Sudamericana in the 2020 J.League Cup / Copa Sudamericana Championship.
