Match Report
On this day, the city of Obihiro in Hokkaido, unfortunately, had a cloudy sky and a chilly climate with light rain.
The rain gradually intensified after the start of the match.
The tournament also ends on this day, the final day of the group stage.
FC Tokyo U-15 Fukagawa faced off against F.Cuore U-15 from Kyushu in a crucial match that determined their advancement to the final tournament and their final ranking in the group stage.

【First Half】
The game will be a close match from the start.
Fukagawa carefully moves the ball from the back line and at the same time, Shinraike watches for opportunities while making precise passes to Aoki Tomosuke on the front line.
On the other hand, F.Cuore threatens Fukagawa with skillful attacks that mix long and short passes, kicking long balls to the side and sometimes pretending to aim for the back while connecting at their feet.
In addition, their long throws were also difficult to deal with at times.
In the 3rd minute, Tokiharu Koji took an aggressive shot and earned a corner kick. In the 11th minute, F.Cuore also attempted a direct free kick from a distance, resulting in an intense game where both teams energetically approached the opponent's goal while maintaining a strong defense.
Fukagawa was the one who moved the score.
17 minutes, after a vertical pass from Shin to Aoki, Aoki shoots and GK deflects it, then Koki Sasunuma kicks it in for the first goal.
"The players fully embodied the advice sent by coach Masato OTA before the game, saying, 'The wet grass from the rain will create chances for loose shots'."

【Second half】
Even in the second half, Fukagawa maintains a strong hold on the lead.
As the opponent who is chasing one point comes forward, they counterattack from the side space and aggressively enter the opponent's penalty area.
48 minutes, Fukagawa receives a pass from Tokiwa Kouta on the left side of the penalty area, and quickly swings his left foot to make it 2-0.
Afterwards, Aoki continued to actively shoot, and in the 54th minute, substitute player Rin Kaneko also aimed for a dangerous shot from the right side.
In the 58th minute, Shinn kicked a left corner kick and Tokiwa headed it, but the ball unfortunately went to the side of the goal.
Fukagawa, who gained a 2-point lead, showed even more aggressiveness.
However, the fear of soccer is that the flow changes when you can't take advantage of the opportunity.
After conceding a goal from the opponent's brilliant dribble shot in the 62nd minute, there were many periods of time where we had to defend.
Of course, Fukagawa's aggressiveness remains unchanged, but at times, the number of times they are pushed back by sharp counters increases.
It was being dominated by GK Takumi Kumagura.
And additional time in the second half.
At the moment when the opponent's low and powerful middle shot seemed to hit the bottom right corner of the goal, GK Kumagura made a big save by diving sideways.
Fukagawa, who survived a tense moment with a fine play, won and successfully passed through Group I in first place with 7 points.

Thank you for your continued support and warm cheers.
