○Match Report
【Challenge to the next stage】
The 41st Japan Club Youth Soccer Championship (U-18) Day 2.
In the cloudy sky, the temperature is lower compared to usual, and due to the rain the day before, the game will be played in a slightly humid environment.
This time's opponent is Matsumoto Yamaga FC U-18.
Manager Sato said, "The members have changed since yesterday, but we can form combinations with anyone. Let's increase the number of finishes." The players headed towards the game after receiving his words.

【First Half】
Tokyo focuses on pressing from the front line and pushes the opponent, resulting in a lot of time spent in the opponent's half.
Create chances from the right side with Okaniwa as the starting point.
3 minutes, Okanite puts in an R-cross and approaches the goal, and in 5 minutes, he entrusts it to Arakawa from Okanite and dribbles while sticking to a deep position.
From there, a ground cross is sent in and Hirata makes a one-touch pass to Kobayashi (Miki), but the opposing DF blocks it.
In addition, after 8 minutes, the ball was passed to Sugiyama who was running vertically from Okaniwa, and he dribbled into the middle, but Kobayashi's first shot was blocked and they earned a left corner kick.
Hineta jumps into the near post and Hasegawa scores the opening goal.
Continuing from yesterday, I took advantage of the first chance.
Tokyo, who further strengthened their attack, had a long ball from Hasegawa that was followed by a run behind by Hara as the starting point, resulting in a negative cross.
When Sugiyama shoots, the GK blocks it and Hideta aims for the loose ball, but it goes outside the frame.
23 minutes, from the DF line, Kusasumi kicks a long ball behind the opposing DF line from the build-up and Hara runs behind.
He calmly looped the shot over the GK who had come out after putting his body in front of the opponent's DF, and scored the second goal.
Continue to take the lead and progress the game.
In the final stage, although Matsumoto was threatened in front of the goal, the defense bravely protected the goal and returned with a 2-0 lead.

[Halftime]
Coach Sato
"We are keeping possession of the ball while the opponent is looking for counterattacks. However, we need to be careful as we have been missing chances. Let's not forget that we are leading by 2 points and continue the game."

【Second Half】
Tokyo wanted to take control of the game like they did in the first half, but they struggled to find their rhythm due to the opponent's sharp start and some small mistakes.
45 minutes, DF line loses the ball and gives the opponent a chance, but Takase's good defense. Do not give the opponent a goal.
Tokyo's Kobayashi (Miki) created scoring opportunities in the 48th and 49th minutes, but was unable to score. In the 52nd minute, Shinaida also had a scoring opportunity, but the goal was far away.
Amidst the intense back and forth between offense and defense, the Tokyo defense remains focused and does not allow the opponent to score.
In order to change the flow, Terayama and Fukino were put in and the movement from the front line was increased to put pressure on the opponent.
71 minutes, Hirakawa dribbles up the center of the opponent's field and connects with Terayama, who ran up the left side.
Terayama puts in a sharp cross, but it just misses.
Afterwards, Fubino, Terayama, and Kobayashi (Miki) continue to put pressure on the opponent from the front line, not allowing them to move freely.
78 minutes, although a sharp cross was raised near the right side, Takase caught it by throwing his body.
Tokyo, who fought until the end while exchanging words, did not allow the opponent to score and the game ended.
Achieved 3 points with 2 consecutive wins.
