On 21st November 1998, the 1st leg of the 1998 Suntory Championship was played at the Tokyo National Stadium. Reigning J.League champions Júbilo Iwata (blue & white) once again faced Kashima Antlers (red), and the Antlers were looking to avenge their surprise defeat to Júbilo the year before. But this year, Júbilo had their World Cupwinning talisman Dunga (No.8) available, to make his debut appearance in the competition. Would the Brazilian veteren be able to inspire Júbilo to backtoback J.League titles...?
