second match

Examples from the Yomiuri Shimbun and The Japan News respectively:

AIの碁の特徴は、戦いの骨格を作る序盤で顕著だ。人間の常識にとらわれない手法が次々と飛び出す。典型例が、相手に陣地を先に与えて損とされてきた「四線への肩付き」だろう。その初登場が参考図のアルファ碁VS李九段第2局。アルファ碁の打った黒1だ。

A characteristic of AI Go software is its outstanding openings, which create the structure of a match. The AI surprises with one technique after another that would be quite unconventional for human players. A textbook example of this is placing a stone on the shoulder of the fourth line, usually considered a disadvantage. The first appearance of this was in the second game of AlphaGo vs ninth-dan Lee, with one black stone placed by AlphaGo.

(That says second game, but it could also be second match, of course.)

Blah, I didn't intend to use an example from an article about go, but there's a shogi example in my other answer that shows this is right anyway
