Match Report
On this day, the weather in Obihiro City, Hokkaido was unfortunately cloudy with a chilly climate and light rain.
The rain gradually intensified after the start of the match.
This day marks the final day of the group stage of the tournament.
FC Tokyo U-15 Fukagawa faced F.Cuore U-15 from Kyushu in an important match to determine advancement to the Final Round and the final ranking of the group stage.

[First Half]
The match started with a closely contested development.
Fukagawa carefully moves the passes from the final line, while at key points, Araki is looking for opportunities by sending through passes to the forward Aoki.
In contrast, F.Cuore simply kicks long balls to the space on the sides, while sometimes pretending to aim for the back and connecting from the feet, threatening Fukagawa with a skillful attack that mixes both long and short plays.
Additionally, the long throws that he occasionally displayed were also formidable.
In the 3rd minute, Kouta Tokiwa took an aggressive shot that earned a corner kick, and in the 11th minute, F. Cuore also aimed directly for a free kick from a distance, resulting in a good game where both teams energetically approached the opponent's goal while maintaining solid defense.
The one who changed the score was Fukagawa.
In the 17th minute, following the previously mentioned vertical pass from Shin to Aoki, Aoki took a shot, and after the goalkeeper deflected it, Koki Sasanuma kicked it in to score the opening goal.
"Since the grass is wet from the rain, the rebounds from shots will create opportunities," is the advice that coach Masato OTA sent before the match, and the players have embodied it well.

【Second Half】
Even in the second half, Fukagawa maintains a strong grip on the game.
Taking advantage of the opponent pushing forward while trailing by one goal, we counterattack from the space on the side and actively advance into the opponent's penalty area.
In the 48th minute, Fukagawa received a pass from Tokiwaki Kouta on the left side of the penalty area, and with a quick movement, he struck with his left foot to make it 2-0.
After that, Aoki actively took shots, and in the 54th minute, substitute Kaneko Rin also aimed with a close shot from the right side.
In the 58th minute, Shinn took a left corner kick, and Tokiwa headed the ball, but it narrowly missed the goal.
Fukagawa, having gained a 2-point lead, showed more aggression.
However, the fear of soccer is that if you can't capitalize on good opportunities, the flow of the game can change.
After conceding a goal from the opponent's brilliant dribble shot in the 62nd minute, there will be many moments where we are on the defensive.
Of course, Fukagawa's aggressiveness remains unchanged, but occasionally, the number of times they are pushed back by sharp counters is increasing.
They continued to fend it off with GK Takumi Kumakura at the center.
And then the second half added time.
The opponent's powerful low trajectory shot struck the bottom right corner of the goal, and just when it seemed like it could be the equalizer, GK Kumakura made a big save with a diving leap.
Fukagawa, who overcame a tense moment with a fine play, achieved victory and successfully passed through Group I in first place with 7 points.
