Kyoto Sanga F.C. secured its first victory in the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) league stage with a 1-0 win against Thailand's Ratchaburi FC at Sanga Stadium by Kyocera.

After a scoreless first half and an early injury to Ren Kato, the match remained tight. The decisive moment arrived in the 88th minute when Haruki Arai delivered a cross from the left flank, allowing Tenma Matsuda to score with a direct right-footed strike. This result follows Kyoto Sanga's opening match loss to Daejeon Hana Citizen.
