Match Report
Sec. 32 Japan Club Youth Soccer Championship (U-15) Tournament - Kanto Qualifiers Losers' Tournament 1st Round opponent is Mitsubishi Yowa Sugamo Junior Youth.
Victory is necessary to participate in the national tournament.

【First Half】
Right after the kickoff, Natsuki Watanabe breaks down the left side and crosses to Shuma Kurihara, who has made a run to the far side, but it's just slightly off target.
Sugamo immediately sends a long ball behind the Musashi DF line. This results in a one-on-one with GK Momoi, who calmly responds by making contact with his body.
In the 13th and 16th minutes, chances were created from passing work, and in the 20th minute, after Toshiya Kurihara was fouled, Kōdai Ueda sent a free kick into the goal area, where Ōmori made a high header shot.
Although Musashi created a chance but couldn't finish, in the 31st minute, they spread the play to the left side where Shota Kurihara aimed for a shot after cutting in.
This shot goes over the GK's head and shakes the side net, scoring the opening goal.
Sugamo also recovers the loose ball from the long ball and comes towards the Musashi goal from the side.
There were some tense moments towards the end, but the first half ended with a score of 1-0.

[Second Half]
Both sides will raise their gears, leading to a fast-paced and intense exchange of offense and defense.
In the 45th minute, Kurihara Toshima's dribble shot from Tanimura's side change is blocked by the defender.
On the contrary, what made us nervous was in the 51st minute, when the opponent's corner kick was perfectly headed but missed the target. We were given a clear chance but were saved.
In the 53rd minute, after a free kick by Kōdai Ueda was parried by the opposing GK, Kobayashi attempted to push it in, but the opposing GK defended with his body, preventing a decisive chance.
In the 54th minute, Musashi GK Momoi makes a great save. He clears the opponent's free kick once, but the loose ball goes in front of the opponent, yet he reacts quickly to prevent a goal.
In the ongoing back-and-forth where neither side gives in, in the 58th minute, a long ball kicked to the center is cleared by the DF, but it spills in front of the opponent.
The opponent picked this up, and the shot shook the net, bringing the score to a tie.
After that, Musashi moved the ball and attempted to attack the opponent's goal, but was thwarted by the opponent's desperate defense, and the match ended.
Entering extra time.

[Extra Time]
When entering extra time, Sugamo will change their system and strengthen their defense in front of the goal.
Trying to break through, they look for gaps in the opponent's defense, but Sugamo is also aiming for a counterattack, making it difficult to create a decisive scene.
With the deadlock remaining, the extra time has ended and we move on to the penalty shootout.

While the fourth player from Sugamo missed, all five players from Musashi shook the net and secured their ticket to the national tournament.
