[First Half]
Musashi actively goes for the opponent's goal from the start.
Respond to the opponent's attack with a long ball with a quick defense and seize the pace of the attack.

Musashi, without panicking, launches a counterattack and charges towards the opponent's goal.
In the 11th minute, Sudou became the starting point in the front line and spread the play to the left side. Watanabe (Natsu), who received the ball, dribbled in and took a powerful shot, but was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper.
Koya takes a corner kick gained from this and makes a header shot at a high point, but unfortunately it goes wide of the goal.
In the 14th minute, Sudou received the ball in front of the goal and, while holding off the opposing defender, took a strong shot, but once again it was a great save by the opposing GK.
Continuing their offensive, Musashi connected in the 23rd minute as Tanimura, who was the starting point on the left side, passed to Ueda (Hiro) waiting in the center.
Ueda (Hiroshi) dribbled in and took a shot, but once again it fell within the opponent GK's defensive range.
In the 29th minute, Osako dribbled down the right side and crossed to Sudou, who was running into the center, but this was ruled offside.
After that, Musashi maintained control in both offense and defense, but was unable to score, ending the first half with a score of 0-1.

[Second Half]
Kurihara (Sho), who takes the pitch from the second half, actively makes several attempts towards the goal from the start, but is unable to create a scoring opportunity due to the opponent's DF putting up a strong defense.
In the 50th minute, Tanimura and Watanabe (Natsu) broke through the left side and sent a cross to Ueda (Hiro) in the center.
Ueda takes a precise shot at the ball, but unfortunately it goes wide of the goal.
In the 59th minute, Kobayashi and in the 60th minute, Osako each took a long-range shot, but were stopped by the opposing GK.
Musashi was dominant in attack, but the opponent's counterattacks, centered around Koya, Omori, and Momoi, did not allow for any additional goals.
Although Musashi fought with all their might without giving up until the end, they were unable to break through the opponent's tenacious defense in the final stages, and the match ended with a score of 0-1.
