〇Match Report
Fukagawa has 2 points from two consecutive draws in Sec. 3 of the Kanto League.
In the previous match, they stubbornly secured a draw, and since this match is a Tokyo team showdown, they definitely want to earn 3 points.

[First Half]
From kickoff, Fukagawa presses forward to put pressure on the opponent.
However, the opponent also plays long balls to their FW, making it difficult to narrow down their target.
◈ Then, from one of those long balls, a dangerous situation arises. When pushing up the DF line, they are caught behind and the opponent creates a clear scoring chance.
Takei somehow stepped in to cover, and although a shot was taken, it did not hit the target, so no goal was conceded.
After that, the play continued with pressure from the opponent's FW utilizing their physical abilities.
However, gradually countermeasures against the opposing FW were implemented; Kimura repelled headers on an equal or better footing, and Iizumi closely marked the wedge passes, not allowing the opponent any freedom.
After the 30-minute mark, the defense regained composure, and a rhythm in attack was born.
From midfield passing, Tachikawa broke through the right side and took a shot, but it was straight at the GK.
After that, they continued to shake the opposing DF from side to side and managed to deliver crosses, but no goals were scored. The first half ended scoreless as it was.

【Second Half】
Fukagawa takes control of the pace. If the defensive midfielders Kimura and Yoshifu win the battles for the ball, Tachikawa and Kawano confuse the opponents with their midfield passing play.
While maintaining possession in the center, fullback Kudo repeatedly breaks through the left side and delivers crosses, but none connect.
Kawano continued to be the focal point in midfield, creating chances repeatedly.
Miura on the right side also tried to break down the flank, but no goals were scored.
On the contrary, although sporadic, a foul was committed against the opponent's powerful attacks.
Despite several goal threats from restarts, the defense centered around Takahashi did not concede any goals.
Even in the final moments, Fukagawa launched a fierce attack, but could not break through the opponent’s physical defense until the end, and the match ended.

After Sec. 3, Fukagawa has drawn all three matches.
The content is gradually improving, but they cannot secure a win.
In the next match, during spring break, the team will split into groups traveling to China and Gotemba. Each player will refine their individual skills once again in preparation for the restart, and we look forward to a counterattack starting in April.
