Match Report
Kanto Club Youth Soccer Championship (U-15) 3rd Round.
Kicking off at 11:00 with a sense of tension, both teams aimed for victory to secure a spot in the national tournament.

[First Half]
The match developed into a contest for control with intense defense from the start.
In the 11th minute, Kobayashi, Tanimura, Kemiyama, and Umehara created rhythm with short passes in the midfield and advanced into the penalty area, but Umehara's shot was blocked by the opposing defender.
In the 13th minute, Kobayashi picked up a second ball in midfield and dribbled forward to take a shot, but it went wide of the goal.
Musashi gradually began to grasp the rhythm of the attack, but in the 15th minute, an opponent's cross ball was sucked straight into the goal, allowing Omiya to score the opening goal.
Although we gradually gave the opponent, who was gaining momentum, some chances to attack, we managed to prevent clear opportunities centered around Furuya and Omori until the 28th minute.
After receiving a counter from the opponent, we were caught off guard for a moment and conceded another goal, ending the first half at 0-2.

【Second Half】
Musashi, trailing by 2 points, launches a fierce attack from the start.
In the 41st minute, Ueda (Hiroshi), who had the ball in the center, attracted the opponent with a dribble and passed it to Miyashita on the right side.
As he dribbled up and delivered a cross, Kobayashi shot with his left foot at the opponent's clearance, but it went wide of the goal.
In the 51st minute, Kobayashi, Ueda (Hiroshi), and Watanabe (Natsu) exchanged passes in midfield, leading to a play on the left side for Kurihara (Sho).
Kurikawa (Sho) uses his speed to break through the opponent and sends in a cross, but is blocked by the opposing GK.
In the 57th minute, Musashi, increasing their offensive pressure, broke through the right side with a combination of Osako, Ueda (Hiroshi), and Miyashita, and from that flow, crossed in front of Kemiyama's goal.
When Kurihara (Satoshi) contested, Omori struck the loose ball with his right foot without hesitation, but it hit the opposing DF and earned a corner kick.
From this corner kick, Omori heads the ball again but is unable to score.
Musashi, who seizes the rhythm of the attack and takes control, faces a crisis from the opponent's counterattack but, centered around GK Momoi, withstands it and does not allow an additional goal.
After that, Musashi created scoring opportunities from corner kicks and direct free kicks, but failed to score.
In the closing moments of the match, Omori delivered a cross from the left side, which Kurihara (Satoshi) headed into the goal, but it fell short by one point.
The match ended 1-2, and the ticket to the national tournament will be carried over to the next match.
