●Match Digest

In the 2010 Kanto Youth (U-15) Soccer League Sec. 5, the opponent was Yokohama F. Marinos Junior Youth Oppama. The match started with a 3:00 p.m. kickoff away from home.

At 2 minutes into the game, a cross ball was sent from the left side to the center of the goal, resulting in a cross play in the middle, but no one touched it, and it narrowly missed the goal, crossing the goal line, causing a tense moment. However, immediately after, Yamaguchi became the starting point on the left side, connected to Omura, who sent a through pass to Kawakami, but it was cleared by the opposing goalkeeper.

At the 5th minute, a through pass was played to the center, but the starting GK Ito, making his debut that day, saved it. Immediately after, from a goal kick, short passes were connected to advance into the opponent's territory, and Kawakami sent in a cross from deep on the left side, but the opposing GK caught it.
At the 8th minute, there was a free kick opportunity. Omura connected with Kawakami's cross using a back header, but it just went over the goal. At the 9th minute, Yamaguchi dribbled past an opponent with individual skill and created a chance, but it did not lead to a goal.

Both teams launched aggressive attacks from the start, making it a situation where it would not have been surprising for either side to score first.
At the 14th minute, Omura dribbled up the right side and sent in a cross, but it did not connect with the player inside. At the 18th minute, Watanabe quickly intercepted the ball up front and passed it to Kawakami. He carried it forward and sent a cross, which hit the opposing defender and resulted in a corner kick. Although a quick counterattack was allowed from the rebound of this corner kick, Sekine, Saito, and Yamagishi put their bodies on the line to protect the goal and fend off the danger.

At the 24th minute, Sato connected with Sawai's free kick but couldn't make perfect contact. At the 26th minute, when an opponent player wedged into the vital area, the pressure slackened, allowing a turn followed by a middle-range shot, which went wide to the right of the goal, creating a dangerous situation.

As the rhythm gradually shifted to the opponent, in the 27th minute, they broke through the right side with a dribble and crossed to the center. The DF managed to clear it somehow, but the rebound was shot, resulting in a regrettable opening goal conceded.
Immediately after, a corner kick was connected near the near side, leading to consecutive goals and making it 0-2. In the 39th minute, a pass mistake in midfield led to a dangerous situation, but GK Ito made a fine save to withstand it, ending the first half.

In the second half, they regrouped and aimed to score, but at the 44th minute, GK Ito came out to respond to the opponent’s through pass but failed to catch the ball, conceding the third goal.

At the 53rd minute, Yamaguchi intercepted the ball up front and took a long shot, but it went far off target. At the 55th minute, Sekine earned a free kick near the left side of the penalty area, and Yamaguchi leapt to meet Kawakami’s cross. He connected with a diving header to score a goal, which sparked momentum throughout the team.

Furthermore, at the 60th minute, Yamaguchi again connected with Kawakami's cross with a diving header, but was unable to score. At the 68th minute, passes were linked smoothly from Sawai to Sato to Omura, and finally Kawakami's shot narrowly missed.

They wanted to maintain this momentum until the end, but energy gradually waned in the final stages, and in stoppage time, there was a decisive danger. GK Ito made a fine save, and the final whistle sounded.

It has been a tough league season with results not coming easily. Although the quality of play is gradually improving, it still feels like each individual is working hard on their own, and the team’s spirit has not yet fully united.
The team will unite as one and work hard every day together so that we can deliver performances that move the spectators, with the combined strength of everyone in Fukagawa.

Thank you very much for your support today as well.
