Japanese football legend Shinji Ono is playing for the final time this weekend and the occasion couldn't be much more fitting, with current club Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo hosting Urawa Reds, where he first made a name for himself.
But the Reds still have something to play for in the final week of the Meiji Yasuda J1 League season - third place and the spot in the AFC Champions League 2 that comes with it.
That means you can expect a ferocious battle as much as a fond farewell on Sunday at 14:00 JST in a match that will be streamed live on the J.League International YouTube channel.
Urawa are in fourth place, one point back of Sanfrecce Hiroshima and level on goal difference. That means the men from Saitama will capture third with a win and the Three Arrows dropping points - or a draw combined with a Sanfrecce loss.
Urawa should feel momentum is on their side after beating Wuhan Three Towns in dramatic fashion in AFC Champions League play midweek. José Kanté delivered a late winner and now Urawa hope to ride that energy into Sapporo for a win that could send them back into Asian competition next season.
But emotions will be plenty high on the other side as well, with Consadole keen to send the incredible Ono riding into the sunset with an unforgettable win.
One thing's for sure: It's going to be a memorable day at the Sapporo Dome. You won't want to miss this one.
