Dressed in striped light blue and blush pink coloured jersey, players of Sagan Tosu U-18 were standing in a queue at one side of the tunnel.
Queued up side by side were the players of Kawasaki who were dressed in their home jersey which was a combination of dark black and dark blue.
There wasn't much gap between the two teams at the moment, just enough to fit two people side by side.
Despite the limited gap, players of both sides were mostly minding their own business and rarely interacting with each other.
Some players praying while some players looking unbothered, some players eyes glowing with determination while some players eyes desperately trying to focus, overall the atmosphere inside the tunnel seemed pretty tensed.
While the front part of the tunnel was illuminated by the bright light coming from outside the tunnel, most part of the tunnel was dark and dimly lit by red light.
