Match Report
After a day of rest, the 32nd Club Youth Championship (U-15) held in Obihiro City, Hokkaido is finally heading to Round 32.
If you lose, the tournament ends there.
Days of heightened tension are beginning.
FC Tokyo U-15 Musashi moved to Makubetsu Town Sports Park Athletics Stadium and faced Sagan Tosu U-15.

[First Half]
The match becomes exciting right from the start.
Right after the kickoff, Tosu launched a powerful attack by dynamically supplying long balls to their tall forwards. Musashi faced them with strong determination and fought bravely in aerial battles, showing toughness throughout the match.
Quickly transitioning to attack after regaining possession of the ball, Musashi skillfully connects passes while advancing into enemy territory.
In the 21st minute, Yoshiyuki KOBAYASHI persistently connected with a header from a set piece, threatening the opponent's goal, and in the 25th and 26th minutes, Kazuki SAITO aimed with consecutive shots from dribbles and a long-range effort.
In the 34th minute, Koudai Ueda's sharp mid-range shot attacked the Tosu goal.
While it felt like the powerful Tosu was pushing forward, on the other hand, Musashi was creating more opportunities.
However, although we allowed the opponent to break through and gave up the opening goal in the 37th minute, it was not a bad fight at all.
I felt there was a good chance of victory.

【Second Half】
The second half began with a similar pattern to the first half, but Musashi increased the activity level of all players even more than in the first half, steadily gaining control of the game.
In the 45th minute, we failed to completely repel the opponent's attack and conceded the second goal.
In the 52nd minute, we allowed a counter-attack from a pass cut, which resulted in a goal, making it 0-3.
Musashi was at a disadvantage.
However, not losing momentum here can also be considered one of Musashi's strengths.
There were loud cheers from the substitute players warming up, and it seemed that they were encouraging each other on the field, raising the overall tension even higher.
It was also practiced in play.
Immediately after conceding a goal, Sudou took a close shot, and in the 57th minute, Koudai Ueda received the ball from a throw-in on the left side and also had a near finish.
The outcome is still uncertain.
In the 61st minute, a chance was created from Yoshiyuki KOBAYASHI's aggressive advance, and ultimately, Sudou scored a goal to generate momentum.
Although they conceded the fourth goal from a counterattack in the 68th minute, Musashi did not lose heart.
With strong determination, we will never give up and move forward to attack into the Tosu territory.
In the 78th minute, a passionate attack with a numerical advantage bore fruit, inducing an own goal from the opponent.
"There is still plenty of time!" voices were actively heard from the bench, and in response, the players chased after the ball.
However, the whistle for time-up sounded there.
Unfortunately, Musashino's tournament has come to an end in the Round of 32.
That said, despite the score difference, I would like to commend the team's determination to press towards the opponent's goal without anyone feeling disheartened until the very end.
In a sense, it can be said that we want to firmly demonstrate a part that is more important than technical skills on the northern land.

Thank you for your passionate support for FC Tokyo U-15 Musashi today.
Thank you for your continued warm support.
