Match Report
FC Tokyo U-15 Fukagawa, who won the championship for the first time in three years, is on the verge of achieving the unprecedented feat of winning both the Prince Takamado Cup U-18 and U-15 tournaments in the same year for the same club.
The final round of the 29th All Japan Youth (U-15) Soccer Championship, held in the sunny weather, took place at AJINOMOTO FIELD NISHIGAOKA.
The opponent for the final round is Sagan Tosu U-15, who won the 32nd Japan Club Youth Soccer Championship (U-15) in the summer.
Coach Ota said, "The opponent is the summer champion, but let's start strong and take the initiative. Let's make the best preparations in all aspects on the pitch."
In difficult times, talk to your teammates and fight until the end of the game without giving up, believing in your teammates. "
A large number of 1,181 fans and supporters gathered at the venue, including FC Tokyo U-18 players and many staff members.
The game, in which we all came together to challenge, started at 13:00 with a kick-off in Fukagawa.

【First Half】
Fukagawa, who wanted to take an aggressive approach, had their opening goal taken by Tosu.
When the ball is taken away after 2 minutes, a through pass is played into the left PA.
When this was hit by a powerful shot, GK Kumagura saved it once, but the ball that spilled out was sucked into the goal, resulting in the first goal conceded in this tournament.
After that, Fukagawa, who couldn't create an attacking shape, entered the left PA in 15 minutes, and Aoki, who entered, aimed for the loose ball from the CK, but Tokiwa missed the goal with a volley.
On the other hand, in the 18th minute, a one-on-one situation was created with GK Kumagura from the flow of the opponent's second ball from the right side, and in the 20th minute, it was caught in front.
While the opponent's time continues, Fukagawa also sends middle passes and other passes behind the opponent's defense, making Sasunuma and Aoki run, but they are unable to create their own time due to the opponent's tough marking.
Fukagawa, who actively aimed for the opponent's back, took a shot at Aoki who had run behind the defense at the 30-minute mark, and Sasunuma and Tokiwa took a shot from the loose ball from the long ball.
In addition, at 35 minutes, Yasuda had a one-on-one with the GK after a one-two with Sasunuma, but the opposing GK came out and blocked the course, causing the shot to go outside the frame.
Fukagawa, who never gives up, cuts off Tosu's goal kick on the left side and connects it to Sasunuma in the 37th minute. Sasunuma then makes a one-touch pass to Aoki with a floating pass.
Aoki, who ran into the PA corner, calmly checked the position of the opposing GK and scored a right-footed looping shot to equalize.
Aoki scores his 9th goal of the tournament, and the first half ends in a tie.

[Halftime]
Manager Ota: "We conceded a goal, but we recovered well from there. Let's use the wings effectively. Don't lose in one-on-one situations. This is where the game begins. Let's all win and celebrate."

【Second half】
The dominant team in the game was Tosu.
Fukagawa tries to push back the opponent by kicking a long ball into their territory, but they are unable to pick up the second ball and are pushed back for a long period of time.
In the 44th minute, Sugawara broke through on the left side and took a shot from an angleless position, but it hit the side net.
At 51 minutes, Kimura drops the ball behind the opponent's defensive line, and Aoki competes with the opponent while dribbling.
Finally, Asai ran to the right and passed the ball, but the shot missed the target.
Despite continued attacks from the opponent, the defense held strong around the penalty area and responded with physicality.
At 75 minutes, the opponent's corner kick was punched away by Kumakura, but they picked up the loose ball and took consecutive shots.
Fukagawa's defense team, on the other hand, jumped in and blocked the shot with their bodies.
The last shot missed to the right of the frame, but the goal was defended with determination.
Fukagawa's chance scene was at the end of the 80th minute.
Anzai persevered in the midfield and made a breakthrough, but in the end, Sugawara's cross was cut off by the opponent.
Enduring a difficult time, we reach the 80th minute and head into extra time.

【Extra Time First Half】
Deep River starts the extra time with an aggressive attack, but Tosu continues to dominate.
However, we continued to respond without losing our concentration for 90 minutes.
Aoki was fouled just outside the opponent's PA, earning a free kick.
New tries to aim for this with his left foot, but is blocked by the wall and the first half ends.

【Extra Time Second Half】
Despite feeling the exhaustion of their physical strength, both teams continue to fiercely attack and defend, but Fukagawa manages to take the lead by surpassing their opponent's time.
96 minutes, direct free kick from slightly left of the center of the opponent's field.
Azai sends this to Aoki on the right side of the PA, who heads it back and Tokiwa charges in from the front of the goal, pushing it in with determination from a low position to successfully take the lead.
I thought we were going to escape like this for 100+2 minutes.
If you give an indirect free kick in your own penalty area, you will be equalized by a loose ball that you once prevented and pushed in, leading to a penalty shootout.

[PK Shootout]
The PK shootout, which started with Fukagawa taking the lead, went into sudden death after both teams scored solidly up to the 5th player, with the 6th player hitting the post directly.
Kumakura stops the sixth opponent in this pinch, and moves on to the seventh.
However, when the 7th player was saved by the opposing GK, Tosu's 7th player scored and the game ended.
After a penalty shootout, Fukagawa lost and ended this tournament as the runner-up.

In addition, FC Tokyo U-15 Fukagawa was selected for the Prince Takamado Fair Play Award, and 18-year-old player Tomosuke Aoki was selected as the top scorer of the tournament (9 goals).
