● The opponent in the 2nd match of the 2nd round of the Tokyo Club Youth Soccer U-14 Tournament is Jefa. FC Tokyo Musashi approaches the game with awareness of how to start the match.

From the start, trying to take control with aggressive attacks and pressing from the front, at 3 minutes, Shimodaira’s cross from the right side hit the opposing DF, and the ball that spilled loose was shot by Sasaki, but unfortunately it hit the bar. They missed an early chance right at the beginning.

After that, the opponent took a shot from the left side of our own half, but it went wide. Within the first 5 minutes, both a chance and a threat occurred once each. A fierce match is anticipated.

Musashi continued to boldly attempt attacks down the flanks. At 10 minutes, Tamiya rushed in on Enomoto’s cross, but the shot narrowly missed the target. On the other hand, Jefa also tried to break through the center, focusing on their two forwards.

Amidst the intense back-and-forth battle, at the 20th minute, Kuramoto advanced with a dribble and created a chance, leading to Shimodaira's cross. Enomoto, running to the far post, cut the ball back inside, and Mitsui took a shot, but the opposing defender desperately covered and managed to block it. It was a decisive moment, but once again, they failed to score.

They continued to launch repeated attacks from the sides but could not score. And so, the first half ended as it was.

In the second half, they wanted to score by any means. From the start of the second half, Yamaguchi and Shinohara were brought in to play even more offensively. Immediately after the second half began, Akatsuka took a mid-range shot, but the opposing GK caught it. They showed an attacking stance right from the start.

Then, at the 32nd minute, Yamaguchi received a pass from Sasaki while moving to the side and took a shot, but it missed the right corner of the goal. Following that, at the 33rd minute, Yamaguchi took a shot from directly in front of the goal off a cross from Shinohara, but he didn’t connect perfectly and the opposing goalkeeper caught it.

Then, at the 35th minute, Sakamoto perfectly connected with Akatsuka’s cross, but the opposing goalkeeper made a fine save, preventing a goal. They continued to attack, but at the 38th minute, a midfield passing error led to a quick exchange of passes by the opponent, who advanced to the front of the goal and took a shot. Ishihara stopped it once, but the rebound was shot again, conceding the opening goal. With no choice but to attack, Musashi pressed toward the opponent’s goal. However, the opponent’s tenacious defense made it difficult to get a shot off.

Meanwhile, Takada connected with a header from a corner kick earned through Tamiya's dribble breakthrough, but the opposing goalkeeper caught it. At the 47th minute, Koizumi was brought on to invigorate the attack, and at the 50th minute, Sakamoto leapt to meet a cross and shook the net, but the goal was disallowed due to an offside call on the preceding cross.
Immediately after, SASAKI took a dribble shot, but it went wide to the upper left of the goal. Then, Yamaguchi headed a shot from the rebound of Shimodaira's cross, but it was cleared by the covering defense. Right after the final whistle, Yamaguchi connected from a corner kick, but unfortunately, it went wide to the right corner of the goal.

Despite creating chances, the match ended without scoring. The result was a 0-1 defeat.
