【Challenge to the next stage】
Last week, the Togu Cup U-18 Football League 2017 Premier League EAST resumed.
This week's opponent is Yokohama F.Marinos Youth, who have struggled in last place with 3 wins and 3 losses so far.
This round, 7 players will accompany the U-23 team due to overlapping schedules, while FC Tokyo U-18 will take on a full-scale battle.
Coach Sato said before the game, "The opponent is in a situation where they can't afford to lose anymore. I think they will fight desperately."
However, if we can win the ball and collect second balls better than our opponents, we can definitely win. Let's keep putting pressure on the opponent for 90 minutes and focus on set pieces.
Let's fight until the end with a mentality for victory and a clear sense of purpose for each individual. "And with that, I sent the players onto the pitch.

【First Half】
Marinos come attacking from the start.
There are times when the ground conditions are a bit slippery due to occasional light rain, causing players to slip and lose their footing, making it difficult to establish a rhythm.
Then, in the 6th minute, a free kick is given near the goal, and in the end, the opponent is able to push through and score the first goal.
Tokyo also puts pressure on the opponent's mistakes from the front line against Marinos, who continue to attack while passing the ball in the defense line.
From there, gradually create an attacking shape centered on the right side, and the 17th minute was reached.
Okatani runs into the center with a perfect ball from the right corner kick to Yokoyama. Yokoyama heads it in and Sugiyama neatly pushes it in off the crossbar to equalize.
Tokyo, aiming for a comeback, quickly connects with Imamura through a long ball from the defense line, with Yoshida carrying the opponent on his back at the 21st minute.
Korem o Imamura ga dribble de PA ni mochikomi shuuto o hanatsu mo, oshiku mo gooru hidari ni hazureru.
At 35 minutes, Kobayashi (Shin) broke through the midfield in a close battle and faced the GK one-on-one, but was stopped by the opponent's good defense.
Afterwards, they continued to create several chances from side attacks and set plays, but were unable to score, and the first half ended in a 1-1 tie.

【Halftime】
Coach Sato
"Let's not ease up on the pressure in the second half. Let's try to shoot even from outside the box in our attacks."
"Be aggressive with shots from the middle range as it can change the flow of the game. Let's focus until the end on both offense and defense, and value set plays."

【Second half】
In the 48th minute of the start, Yokoyama takes a middle shot when he sees the opponent GK taking a position in front.
The opponent GK barely deflected this, but showed aggressiveness.
However, at the 50th minute, we allowed the opponent to take the lead from the center after being combined from the left CK.
In the 54th minute, the ball is passed from Shinohara to Okanohara on the right side, and a cross is made towards the center, resulting in the opponent taking the lead.
Koremu skillfully marks it out and heads it in, immediately equalizing the score.
The game continued with a back-and-forth development, and neither team was able to create a scoring opportunity. As time went on, it reached the 69th minute.
The crossbar is hit and the goal is sucked in when a long shot is taken from the midfield, taking advantage of a momentary gap.
Tokyo, who is on the counterattack, substitutes Fubino for Yokoyama and Kubo (Sei) for Yoshida, and launches an offensive.
Okaniwa on the right side and Arakawa on the left side are the starting points for side attacks, but they are unable to take shots due to the opponent's desperate defense.
Substitute Terayama for Suzuki at 86 minutes, and the final whistle blows as they continue to press forward towards the goal.

Twice, we were able to catch up, but we couldn't break through the opponent's passionate play and score a goal.
