Match Report
After the summer break, there are only 5 rounds left in the 2017 Kanto Youth (U-15) Football League Division 1.
Currently in second place, but the teams below are also closely competing, so the situation is unpredictable.
The 18th round is the Tokyo Derby.
The match against Verdy, an opponent we absolutely cannot lose to, kicked off at 16:30 at our home ground, "Fukagawa Grand".

【First Half】
The game starts moving early on.
1 minute, Yasuaki who received a throw-in connects to Aoki and swings his right foot with all his might to take the lead.
After that, the game continued at a fast pace in Fukagawa, and in the 8th minute, the ball was passed to Kajiwara, who had a good timing, by Anzai and Yasuda.
This decisive opportunity was blocked by the opposing GK, but in the following 10 minutes, Aoki received a vertical pass, made his own move, and scored a powerful mid-range shot with his left foot for the second goal.
Fukagawa, who is on a roll, scored their third goal in the 11th minute after Kajiwara passed the ball to Yasuaki, who then directed it into the bottom left corner of the goal.
Expand the lead early on.
After that, a battle continues where Fukagawa tries to steal the ball with coordinated defense against Verdy's possession.
Unable to score despite approaching the opponent's goal at 24 and 25 minutes, and further at 32 minutes, Yasuda breaks through from Yasuda's ball and aims with his left foot, but hits the top of the bar.
We will go into halftime with a 3-0 lead.

【Second Half】
In the second half, Fukagawa, who started the second half, took the initiative and in the 41st minute, Yasuda stole the ball from the opponent in a high position and sent it to Aoki.
Aoki's shot is blocked by the GK, but Tokiwa follows up with a rebound and extends the lead.
However, after conceding a goal in the 42nd minute, we were put under pressure with consecutive attempts on goal by the opponent in the 46th and 48th minutes, but we were saved by their missed shots.
Fukagawa, who regained the rhythm in defense, aimed directly at the net with a free kick obtained near the opponent's PA in the 50th minute, hitting the wall and changing the angle before being sucked into the net by Aoki.
64 minutes, when the opponent broke through the right side from their passing, their shot hit the hand of Fukagawa DF and resulted in a penalty kick.
This will make it 5-2.
After that, the battle continued in the midfield, but we continued to aim for additional points until the end, but it ended like this.

Despite regrettable goals, we won the Tokyo Derby and gained 3 points, securing our spot in the top division for next season.
It was a valuable decision for the club to be able to stay in the midst of difficult situations that could not be conveyed in the star-taking table, and I hope that the third-year students will be proud and continue their soccer life in the future.
However, we want to take further steps towards winning the next Emperor's Cup without being complacent.
