[First Half]
The match started with both teams fiercely contesting possession from the outset with aggressive defense.
The first scoring opportunity was created by Musashi.
In the 3rd minute, Ueda (Hiroshi) picked up the second ball in midfield and passed it to Tanimura.
Tanimura, who drew the opposing defender, spread the play to the right side, and Kameyama, who received the ball, took a shot but was thwarted by a great save from the opposing GK.
In the 6th minute, Kobayashi successfully intercepted in midfield and passed to Kemiyama on the right side. From there, he dribbled in, evaded the opponent, and took a shot with his left foot, but it went straight to the goalkeeper.
In the 12th minute, after a breakthrough on the left side by the combination of Tanimura and Watanabe (Natsu), they earned a free kick. Tanimura reacted to the loose ball and took a powerful volley shot directly, but unfortunately it went wide of the goal.
The defense remains focused against the opponent's free kicks and corner kicks, putting their bodies on the line to defend and starting to find a rhythm in both offense and defense, which begins to change the course of the match.
In the 40th minute, just before the end of the first half, a through pass from Kobayashi to Kurihara (Sho) who runs into the space on the left side.
Kurihara (Syo), who dribbled towards the goal, calmly delivered an exquisite pass to Umehara, who ran into the center, and Umehara firmly pushed it in to score the opening goal.
End the first half with a score of 1-0.

【Second Half】
Musashi quickly finds the match reset to the beginning.
In the 41st minute, after picking up a loose ball and dribbling it into the goal area, it was finally pushed in from a scramble, resulting in a tie.
Musashi refocuses and returns to the match with Captain Kobayashi at the center.
However, as the opponent's momentum increased, the defensive time gradually lengthened, but GK Momoi, DF Furuya, and Omori coordinated the defense, not giving the opponent any clear chances.
Musashi, wanting to take the lead, brought in Osako in place of Umehara in the 55th minute.
Gradually reduce the opponent's momentum, increase our own time, and create opportunities.
In the 65th minute, Kurihara made a breakthrough with a dribble and shot. In the following 66th minute, Osako received the ball on the right side, dribbled into the center, and took a shot, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper.
Musashi, who continued to apply pressure until the end, saw Osako break through the left side in the 80th minute and send an accurate cross to Kemiyama in the center, but the volley went wide of the goal.
Everyone continued to play with full effort in both offense and defense without losing focus until the end of the match.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw, earning 1 point.
