○Match Report
[Continuing the Build-Up and Inheriting the History]

[First Half]
As Coach Sato pointed out before the match, "Battles for the ball are crucial," both teams engaged passionately in intense midfield battles.
Tokyo's forwards actively made runs into the space behind the opponent's DF line, looking for opportunities.
In response, Tripleta sends long passes to the forward players and aims for goals from the rebounds.
Tokyo's first chance came in the 6th minute when Hanya, holding the ball in the center, passed it to Okaniwa who was running up the right side.
Okaniwa's cross was met by Matsuoka, who jumped in freely to head the ball, but it went straight to the GK.
At 13 minutes, from the left side, Uchida delivered a cross, and Shinada took a volley shot at the far side, but it was cleared by a defender who came in to cover.
Tokyo, launching a variety of attacks including long passes, short passes, and dribbling breakthroughs, scored their first goal at 17 minutes.
After creating a hold-up play in the center, a sharp cross was delivered from Arakawa's overlapping run on the left side. When the opposing GK spilled it, Ikiji firmly followed up to score the opening goal.
Tokyo aimed for an additional goal but invited danger due to some lack of coordination. Despite being pressed in the final stages, they maintained their concentration and finished without conceding.

《Second Half》
Substituted Kobayashi (Shin) for Shinada to take on the second half.
Right after the start, the opponent created a chance with a header from a free kick, but Hatano calmly made the save.
At the 56th minute, Suzuki (Iku) came on for Hanya, and Suzuki (Iku) scored an additional goal.
In the 68th minute, Ikiji delivered a cross from the left side, and Suzuki (Iku) picked up the loose ball and struck a powerful shot.
Gaining momentum from this, Tokyo further extended their lead in the 76th minute when Matsuoka scored with his left foot.
With a 3-0 lead, Tokyo kept up the pressure by continuously bringing in fresh players, maintaining their momentum.
The fourth goal was scored in the 84th minute, when a cross from the right side flowed all the way to the opposite side. Sugiyama, who came on as a substitute, drew the opponent in with a dribble, and Suzuki (Iku) ran in to shake the net.
After that, while controlling the match, Hasegawa and Shinohara calmly dealt with occasional counterattacks, keeping a clean sheet.
Following the previous match, we won 4-0.
