○Match Report
【Challenge to the next stage】
Tokyo, which started with a defeat, has won two consecutive games and is on a roll in the 2017 Prince Takamado Trophy U-18 Football League Premier League EAST.
This round, 4 players from Omiya Ardija Youth will participate in the U-23 match, which overlaps with their own game.
Manager Sato: "We are in good shape with consecutive wins. Let's win again today and accumulate points. In order to do that, we must not lose individually. Let's attack aggressively from ourselves."
Let's make sure to defend until we can take it away. Both offense and defense are important in set plays, so let's all focus and fight together." The coach said, sending the players onto the pitch.

【First Half】
Just one minute into the game, Okaniwa makes a run from the right side and crosses the ball to Yoshida who takes a shot.
Although the goal was not caught, we had a good start.
In the 9th minute, Imamura pressed the opponent's defense, who struggled to handle Tokyo's clear ball, and took the ball.
Shoots from dribbling here, but misses the goal by a large margin.
Omiya also comes with their possession soccer, trying to create chances from precise passing, but they put intense pressure on the front line centered around the two top players, Yoshida and Imamura, and do not allow chances to be created.
This press invites the opponent's mistake, and Nakayama, Yoshida, and Imamura take the ball in the midfield, but they can't seem to take a shot in front of the goal.
Tokyo, who continues to attack, reacted to the ball they took in the middle in the 39th minute, and Imamura broke through and earned a corner kick with a dribble.
Although this corner kick was initially blocked by the opponent, Okaniwa picked up the loose ball and took a sharp ground shot, which was then slid in by Hasegawa who had moved up to the front line, scoring the long-awaited first goal.
Take the lead in a good time and end the first half with a score of 1-0.

【Halftime】
Coach Sato
"Let's continue to create our own opportunities in the second half. However, we must be careful of counterattacks when we push forward."
In the past, we have always been defeated in the last moments of the Omiya match. Let's stay focused until the very end and fight."

【Second half】
Tokyo, as instructed by Coach Sato, continues to control the pace from the start of the second half.
In the 47th minute, Yamanashi passes to Imamura from the right side, but his first shot in the second half goes wide of the goal.
In the second half, the opponent's freedom was taken away by defending from the front line, and in the 58th minute, Yoshida stole the ball from the opponent in a high position and passed it to Imamura.
Koremu calmly dribbles this into the goal and scores an additional point.
Tokyo, who was on a roll, made a breakthrough in the 64th minute when Imamura passed to Shina and took a shot. Although the opponent's goalkeeper barely deflected it, Sugiyama was there to push it in and score the third goal.
Tokyo continued to create chances through Shina but were stopped by the Omiya defense.
Omiya also creates chances from precise passes and heads towards the Tokyo goal, but Tokyo's defense also stops it with concentrated play.
Tokyo, which showed signs of fatigue from intense defense against the fierce front line, will bring in Fukano, Haga, Nakatani, and Kusasumi to create their own time once again.
In the final moments of the game at 90+2 minutes, Sugiyama takes the ball into the penalty area from a counter attack and shoots, but it goes over the bar.
The game ended as it was, with a 3-0 victory.

Tokyo did not allow the opponent to create chances by performing a coordinated defense throughout the entire game.
The game became a confidence-boosting one for the players as they took advantage of the three points created from their defense.
