[First Half]
Musashi actively goes for the opponent's goal from the start.
The first shot is by Kurihara (Toshi). He takes a decisive shot from the scramble in front of the goal, but it goes wide of the target.
Musashi gradually gains control of the pace of the attack as they respond to the opponent's rhythm with short passes and a solid defense.
In the 10th minute, Watanabe (Natsu) and Tanimura created space on the left side, connecting to Sudou who made a timely run behind the defense.
Sudou dribbles in and takes a shot with his left foot, but is blocked by the opposing GK.
In the 12th minute, Ueda (Hiroshi) and Tanimura combined to penetrate into the goal area, but in the end, Ueda (Hiroshi) shot straight at the goalkeeper.
On the contrary, although they were pushed back to their own territory several times by Kawasaki's sharp attacks, Furuya and Omori's defense remained focused and did not allow any clear chances.
In the 22nd minute, Watanabe (Natsu), Kurihara (Sho), and Tanimura broke down the left side from a throw-in by Momoi and sent a cross to the center.
This was a breakthrough in front of the goal with a combination between Ueda (Hiroshi) and Sudou, but the shot was unfortunately blocked by the opposing defense.
The long-awaited opening goal came in the 30th minute, as Miyashita broke through on the right side and delivered an accurate cross.

Sudou takes a shot with his right foot, but is once again thwarted by a great save from the opposing GK, and time passes without being able to secure an additional goal.
We maintained our focus and collectively repelled the opponent's attacks, including a corner kick in the final stages, and the match ended with a score of 1-0.
