○Match Report
【Challenge to the next stage】
FC Tokyo U-18, aiming for their first victory in 2 years, will compete in the final round of the 41st Japan Club Youth Soccer Championship (U-18) Kanto Tournament.
The final round will be held at the "Nippon Steel Sumikin Ground". Despite the environment of power outages and water shortages, the players are calmly preparing for the match.
Kawasaki Frontale U-18, who defeated Yokohama F.Marinos Youth and Kashima Antlers Youth, will face their opponent in the Final Round.
Manager Sato said, "It will definitely be a tough game. Various players have shown their strength to get this far. We need to continue doing what we always do."
The game started at 13:00 in Tokyo, with a pleasant breeze blowing.

【First Half】
Kawasaki dominated the ball.
Build up carefully from GK and come to take the initiative.
Tokyo, on the other hand, does not give freedom with a press that works together as a team, led by Haru and Kubo on the front line.
The first chance came at 17 minutes, when Harada won the ball from Takase's goal kick and passed it to Kubo, who then dribbled and took a shot with his left foot.
This is defended by the opposing GK, and Hara is offside.
Afterwards, Tokyo, who took control of the game from defense, moved the game in the 41st minute.
The opponent GK struggles to control the ball when they pass it to a player just outside the center PA with a goal kick.
Kubo did not miss this and was able to steal the ball and enter the PA, ultimately being fouled and earning a PK.
Kubo calmly scores the first goal himself on the right side.
In the final 45 minutes, Okaniwa broke through two opposing players on the right side and created a chance.
The defense led by Shinoara protects the goal and prevents any goals, leading the first half with one point.

【Halftime】
Coach Sato
"We are inviting trouble from our own mistakes. Let's not give them any openings. Let's aim for a goal from a set play and fight for the team until the end."

【Second Half】
Tokyo, who substituted Yoko for Kobayashi (Miki) and changed their attack, is making a move.
At the 46th minute of the start, Sakaguchi aims for the middle from the right side and hits the post.
In the 48th minute, Kobayashi (Shin) cut in diagonally from the left side and aimed for the goal, but it went outside the frame.
In the 59th minute, Yamanaka aggressively pressed from the front line and stole the ball from Boas, but his shot from the right side was saved by the GK.
Tokyo, unable to score additional points, substituted Kubo and Hirakawa for 63 minutes and brought in Sugiyama and Arakawa.
However, as the game went on, Kawazaki gradually took control and in the 77th minute, a cross from the right side.
In the 81st minute, a base was created on the right side, and in the end, Highse was blocked in a one-on-one situation after being broken through on the left side.
