○Match Report
【Challenge to the next stage】
The 3rd match of the 2017 Prince Takamado Trophy U-18 Football League Premier League EAST, which was greeted with 1 win and 1 loss, will be held at the "Ajinomoto Stadium West Field".
The opponent, Funabashi High School, has started with two consecutive losses since the opening.
Tokyo also wants to gain momentum by winning this round and continuing their winning streak.
The match, in which both teams were eager for 3 points, kicked off at 2:00 PM in Tokyo.

【First Half】
Tokyo, who launched an attack from the front line with Hara as the starting point, entrusted the ball to Sakaguchi on the left side after 4 minutes, connecting with Kobayashi (Miki) from Hara.
When combined with Kubo, who has entered the far side, the direct volley is just above the frame.
The battle for dominance continues, with a fierce exchange of offense and defense.
In the 12th minute, Tokyo was put in a pinch when a cross from the right side was combined, and in the 17th minute, Hatakeyama received a throw-in from Kubo on the right side.
Hineta breaks through this and puts in a ground cross from a deep position, but it just misses.
22 minutes, DF line connects from right to left with build-up and Sakaguchi passes directly to Kobayashi (Miki) who runs into the left back.
When dribbling and shooting, if blocked by the opposing DF, Kubo quickly reacts and stabs the ball into the net with his left foot.
Tokyo, who was leading, was hit by a counterattack from Ichikawa Municipal Funabashi.
29 minutes, when a cross is put in from the right side during a throw-in, it is combined on the far side and equalized.
Tokyo, 39 minutes in, as Hirakawa on the left side receives the ball and passes it to Kobayashi (Miki) for support.
When dribbling inside the PA, deftly control the ball, evade the opponent, and shoot it into the goal.
Hasegawa blocks with a sliding tackle in the late stages of leading 2-1, and leads the first half.

[Halftime]
Coach Sato
"We are playing a good game. Let's make decisions on whether to press forward or form a block based on the opponent's situation. Let's focus on restarts such as set plays and throw-ins."

【Second half】
Okanote, Kubo, and Yokoyama, who came on as a substitute, actively attack the right side and gain control of the flow from the start.
55 minutes, when they got a free kick on the right side, Kubo sent it to Hasegawa in the center from Hinaida's fake, but it just missed.
Afterwards, Tokyo continues to hold the ball and approaches the Funabashi Municipal Goal from both sides, but is unable to score an additional point.
Although occasionally inviting danger from the opponent's counterattacks, the defense, led by Shinohara and the Hasegawa brothers, remains focused and does not let their guard down.
Change the rhythm by replacing Sugiyama with Kobayashi (Miki) at 80 minutes.
Sugiyama receives the ball in the opponent's gap and tries to show his own characteristics.
82 minutes, Yokoyama dribbles down the right side and connects with Okaniwa.
If you put this in front of the goal, it will be blocked by the DF, but Hirakawa picks up the loose ball and takes a shot, but it's right at the GK.
In the final stage, the team effectively managed their time and, with the help of the bench members, everyone communicated and did not give the opponent any chance, leading to the end of the game.
Earned 3 points.
