Match Report
The first match of the 32nd Japan Club Youth Soccer Championship (U-15) Kanto Qualifying Loser's Tournament kicked off at 1pm at Maebashi Comprehensive Sports Park.
To obtain a ticket to Obihiro (National Tournament), we will unite and challenge together.

【First Half】
Fukagawa took control of the rhythm from the start.
Approaching the Marinos goal with quick pressing and fast vertical attacks.
In the 2nd minute, Yasuda takes a shot from a distance but misses the goal.
Fukagawa, who is still on the rise, takes the lead in the 5th minute.
When Kimura heads back the opponent's long feed, Aoki picks up the second ball and plays a one-two with Nozawa.
With this, we break through the opponent's defense and calmly slip it past the opponent's GK for the first goal.
When the game starts, Marinos will come at us with a build-up that utilizes the width of the field, but the Fukagawa defense will not give them any openings and prevent them from creating scoring opportunities.
If both teams can maintain their concentration, Fukagawa's chance will come at the 35th minute.
Aoki breaks through the opponent DF's back in the new long feed, swings his right foot but is rejected by the post.
The first half ended with a score of 1-0.

【Second half】
Both teams are pushing towards the goal from the start.
43 minutes, Aoki breaks through to the PA and crosses to Nozawa, but it is blocked by the GK.
Marinos try to shake things up with a side change at 45 minutes, but their shot from near the PA goes wide.
Immediately after the 46th minute, Sato was unable to score a goal in a one-on-one with the GK due to the opponent's clearance mistake.
The temperature exceeding 30 degrees and the tension of the tournament gradually drain Deep River's physical strength, making it a time of endurance.
61 minutes, Kumakura deflects the opponent's cross ball but it is pushed in and the score is tied 1-1.
In the 68th minute, a cross from a low position on the left side was put in, and a shot from a post-play pierced through and turned the game around.
Fukagawa equalized again in the 73rd minute, as Aoki received a cross from Sato on the right side and calmly scored from a chest trap.
As the tension rises in the development where both sides aim for the final round, unexpected situations may occur.
Additional time, Fukagawa player who returned to their own PA inside due to the opponent's counter loses balance and falls.
The ball hits the hand and gives a PK.
In this pinch, "guardian" Kumakura prevents it with a super save and the game goes into extra time.

【Extension】
The entire field is filled with tension, and the game starts moving from the beginning.
In the 81st minute just after the start, Marinos are brilliantly broken in the center by a coordinated attack and end up losing.
Fukagawa, who never gives up, scored his second goal of the day in the 88th minute, shaking off the GK after controlling the ball with his chest from Anzai's cross.
Aoki's hat-trick goal equalizes the score to 3-3.
As the second half of the extended game begins, both teams will be exhausted and it will become a battle of willpower.
In the battle, including aerial battles, Fukagawa shows his determination.
As time passed with a tense atmosphere, the possibility of a penalty shootout began to loom at the 100th minute.
Tokiwai accurately feeds the loose ball to the front line in the middle of the game.
Nawaz, who reacted to this, breaks through behind the DF and becomes one-on-one with the GK.
Amid the gaze of everyone on the field, Nozawa calmly shook the net and scored a thrilling comeback goal.
The defense stayed focused until the end and the game ended without losing concentration.

We have just won a fierce battle, and although there are still many challenges remaining in this developmental stage of junior high school students, we want to use this hard-fought victory to connect to the future growth of the team and each individual.
