○Match Report
The opponent in Sec. 20 of the Kanto League was Omiya Ardija Junior Youth, a top team in the league currently on a three-game winning streak since the break.
Fukagawa has gained momentum by winning the last two consecutive matches.
Fukagawa’s battle to accumulate points aiming to remain in the first division league kicked off at 3:00 PM at the away NTT East Japan Shiki General Ground.

[First Half]
The match started cautiously on both sides, with the ball rarely settling, and the battle for control continued through long balls.
After 20 minutes, Omiya gradually launched attacks with well-paced passing, and Fukagawa spent much time in their own half. Fukagawa, centered around goalkeeper Omoto, defended with concentration during this period and did not concede any goals.
However, just before the end of the first half, they were caught on a brief lapse by a quick counterattack, and in the end, a powerful long-range shot from near the penalty area was struck in.
Fukagawa desperately endured the pressure of being pushed back, making this conceded goal all the more regrettable.

【Second Half】
Entering the second half, Fukagawa begins to take control with their characteristic coordinated defense.
In attack, they start creating chances repeatedly from Fukazawa’s ball retention, but struggle to score.
Fukagawa continues to press toward Omiya’s goal, but the game remains evenly contested with sharp counterattacks from the opponent.
Then, Fukagawa finally scores the long-awaited equalizer. Yogai breaks through on the left side and crosses, and the rebound is pushed in by substitute Yachida.
Fukagawa, who intensified their offensive momentum, conceded a goal in the 70th minute.
Aiming for victory and showing determination to reach the goal until the end, Fukagawa was unable to score, and the match ended as it was.

Fukagawa missed the chance to aim for the top spots while targeting a third consecutive win.
Fukagawa was unable to show their true form with consecutive wins and could not secure their place, and will challenge the league leaders Urawa in the next match.

A week begins for Fukagawa to regain their true form.

Thank you very much for coming to the away NTT East Japan Shiki General Ground today and for your warm support for the players.

Thank you very much.
We sincerely appreciate your continued passionate support for FC Tokyo U-15 Fukagawa.
