【Challenge to the next stage】
The 2017 Prince Takamado Trophy U-18 Football League Premier League EAST Sec. 5 was held at the 'Tokyo Gas Musashino-En Multi-Purpose Ground' with pleasant weather and a comfortable breeze.
Coach Sato said, "While there are players who have been in consecutive matches, let's be grateful for the environment where we can compete on the wonderful stage of the J3 League and the Premier League. The start will be important.
It is important to face soccer sincerely for 90 minutes and continue to fight.
The opponent, Kashiwa Reysol U-18, has 1 win, 1 draw, and 2 losses so far.
The match, which both teams need to secure 3 points to stay in the top race, kicked off at 14:00.

[First Half]
Tokyo took control. They restricted Kashiwa's strength in short passing with coordinated pressing.
Hara and Kobayashi (Miki) press from the front line, taking away options, while Kobayashi (Makoto) and Shinada fiercely close in on the ball coming into the midfield.
In addition, this allows the DF line players to actively go for the opponent's ball.
The first chance came in the 4th minute, Okaniwa connected with Hara who had moved behind the right side, and after returning to Kobayashi (Makoto) who supported, an early cross was made.
Kobayashi (Miki), who jumped in the center, made contact but just missed above the goal.
The opening goal came in the 13th minute when Yokoyama stole the ball in the center of the midfield and dribbled forward to Kobayashi (Miki).
Kobayashi entered the left penalty area and took a shot, scoring a goal.
Tokyo continues to create chances, but they are unable to score an additional goal until the 44th minute.
Sugiyama, holding the ball on the left side, sends a lofted ball behind, and Hara advances into the penalty area while competing with an opponent.
Strike with the left foot to score an additional point.
Dominated the first half and went into halftime with a 2-0 lead.

【Halftime】
Coach Sato
"The match will definitely not end like this. The start is crucial. We will aim for additional points, and we have wonderful players on the bench, so let's not hold back."

【Second Half】
The second half started with an open approach.
Just 55 seconds after the start, when the right side is simply exploited, he finds himself one-on-one with Takase but puts his body on the line to block.
In the 47th minute, after being broken through on the left side and facing a half-volley, Takase made a good save with one hand against the ball aimed at the far side in a looping manner.
In response to this, in the 49th minute, Sakaguchi throws a throw-in from the left side to Sugiyama, who gets behind the opponent.
Sugiyama cuts inside along the goal line and aims with his right foot, but it goes to the left of the target.
If neither side can seize the opportunity, the momentum will shift to Kashiwa.
In the 61st minute, the ball was played behind the DF line after an attack on the right side, and a right-footed shot was scored, making it 2-1.
In the 66th minute, after being breached on the left side, a cross to the near post was made but did not connect.
Tokyo's Fushino and Arakawa push into the pitch to seize control, but they cannot change the flow of the game.
Then, in the 84th minute, after advancing deep into the right side, a shot from a tight angle hits Shinohara, changing its course and slipping past the near side for the equalizer.
In the final moments, we approached the goal but were blocked by the opponent's solid defense, and the match ended.
Shared one point.
