○Match Digest
The 1st Round match of the Kanto Club Youth Soccer Championship (U-15) against Yokohama FC Tsurumi kicked off at 1:00 p.m.
Musashi, as usual, looks for chances while connecting passes. On the other hand, Yokohama FC Tsurumi focuses on solid defense and aims for goals mainly through long balls and counterattacks.

7 minutes in, the ball was passed through the center midfield and expanded to the left side. Sakaguchi, who joined the attack, delivered a cross, but it was caught by the GK. At 9 minutes, Nakamura took the first shot. He picked up the rebound and boldly aimed a long-range shot, but it was saved by the GK.

At the 16th minute, a through pass was timed perfectly to Hara, who broke behind the DF. Passing to Reo SUGIYAMA, who came inside to cross with Hara, he took a shot but it was blocked by the DF. However, Hirakawa quickly switched and regained possession, earning a corner kick. Shiozawa met this corner with a header at the far post, but it went over the bar.

At 19 minutes, as they gradually got used to the field and the opponent, Tanikawa flicked Shiozawa's vertical pass behind the defensive line. Reo SUGIYAMA, who broke through at the right timing, sent the ball to the far side, where Mikio Kobayashi, running in, slid to connect and drove the ball into the net, scoring the opening goal.

At the 25th minute, Reo SUGIYAMA controlled a long pass from their own half and connected it to Miki KOBAYASHI. KOBAYASHI took a bold shot, but it was caught by the goalkeeper. At the 28th minute, the ball was taken away in midfield, and a cross was delivered from the right side. A forward who was momentarily free in front of the goal took a shot, but it went off target.

At the 33rd minute, they applied intense pressure in midfield and won the ball. From there, Hirakawa advanced and boldly aimed for a long-range shot but missed the target. At the 34th minute, they circulated passes centrally to create space, and Sakaguchi joined the attack. The cross was cleared, but Sakaguchi took a bold shot from the rebound, which went over the bar. Due to Yokohama FC Tsurumi's tenacious defense, they were unable to score an additional goal and went into halftime leading 1-0.

Entering the second half, Musashi did not go into defense but actively aimed for an additional goal. At the 41st minute, Nakamura, who joined the attack, delivered a low cross. Reo SUGIYAMA, who received it in front of the goal, was brought down inside the penalty area, but it was ruled no foul.

Then, the proactive attitude toward the goal from the start of the second half bore fruit. At the 42nd minute, Hirakawa, who kept possession in midfield, made a through pass to Mikio Kobayashi, who had burst out to the right side. From here, Hara, who completely shook off the marking of the opposing defenders with a pull-away move, headed the cross sent to the far side into the net, scoring the second goal.

At 46 minutes, they aggressively tried to take the ball from the front line, but the opponent used the space behind and delivered a cross. A header shot was taken from the center but missed the target. At 52 minutes, the ball was passed from Mataka Kobayashi to Mikio Kobayashi. Observing the opposing goalkeeper's position, Mikio aimed for a long shot over the head, but it lacked distance and was caught.

68 minutes in, Miki Kobayashi, who received the ball slightly left of center, played a through pass to Tanikawa on the right side. Breaking behind the defenders, he faced the opposing goalkeeper one-on-one, but his shot narrowly missed the target. At 69 minutes, Sugiyama Danto was brought on to replace Nakamura.

At 71 minutes, passes were connected with one touch between Mataka Kobayashi, Miki Kobayashi, and Hirakawa, who then drove forward with a dribble toward the goal. The opposing defender could not stop Hirakawa’s dribble and fouled him inside the penalty area, resulting in a penalty kick. Miki Kobayashi confidently converted the PK, making the score 3-0.

At the 76th minute, they almost suffered a counterattack, but Tanigawa used his body to block the opponent's charge. At the 77th minute, Tanigawa delivered a sharp cross from the right side. Hirakawa picked up the ball after the opponent's defender made a weak clearance and struck it with his right foot. The ball pierced the upper right corner of the goal, scoring the fourth goal. At the 78th minute, Takada, known for his speed, was brought on to replace Tanigawa.

At the 81st minute, Takada received the ball on the right side of his own half and used his speed to dribble forward for 60 meters. He crossed from the right side, and Hara took a shot, but it was saved by the goalkeeper. At the 82nd minute, Hirakawa sent a vertical pass to Masataka Kobayashi, who, seeing Hara ahead, let the ball go through.
Hara, who received the pass, assessed the response of the opposing DF and sent a pass to the opposite side. Yonetani, who received the pass, shook off the pursuing DF and struck the ball into the goal with his left foot, scoring the fifth goal.

It seemed the match would end like this, but in the 83rd minute near the end, the left side was broken through and a low cross was delivered. Unable to clear it completely, an own goal was conceded. A goal was allowed just before the end. However, the match ended immediately after. They celebrated their first victory with a 5-1 win.
