○Match Report
【Challenge to the next stage】

【First Half】
At the beginning, both teams compete for dominance with sharp defensive plays.
Tokyo took 6 minutes, and when Yoshida broke through and crossed, Kobayashi Miki jumped into the center and headed it, but it was saved by the GK.
Then it was Shimizu who made the first move in the game.
8 minutes, when the right side is dribbled by the opponent and entered into the PA. Although Takase saves the shot with his foot, the floating ball is headed in, resulting in the first goal being conceded.
In addition, after 15 minutes, the ball is held up by the opponent on the left side and crossed to the far side from the goal line.
He is hit by a direct jumping volley for free, and the net is shaken grandly, widening the point difference.
Tokyo, despite trying to take the lead, cannot launch a strong attack.
On the other hand, Shimizu quickly circulates short passes and does not allow Tokyo's defense to focus on a target, making it difficult to grasp the rhythm.
However, the defense, led by Shinohara, did not lose their concentration and the attacking side also created opportunities to attack the opponent's goal, but were unable to score and went into halftime with a score of 0-2.

【Halftime】
Manager Sato: "It's not a bad performance. This is actually an opportunity for us. Let's face ourselves and fight for the remaining 45 minutes."

【Second Half】
Substitution from Imamura to Terayama during halftime, changing positions and launching a counterattack.
However, in the 49th minute, Robert was robbed of the ball in his own half and allowed the opponent to enter the PA, but their shot hit the crossbar.
After overcoming this pinch, Tokyo gradually grasps the rhythm from aggressive play and launches an attack, welcoming scoring opportunities.
57 minutes, Yamasan presses the ball after stealing it from the opponent's GK to the DF pass, and makes a last pass to Yoshida near the right PA.
However, Yoshida's shot was unable to be converted into a goal due to Shimizu DF's physical effort.
In the 64th minute, from Arakawa's side change, Kobayashi and Yokoyama played a one-two on the right side.
From there, bring it inside and aim for a breakthrough in the center, but in the end, Terayama's shot missed the frame and went over the bar.
72 minutes, Tokyo scores a goal as Hara is substituted for Yokoyama to change the attack.
In the 74th minute, after a pass from Sugiyama, Kobayashi calmly scored to make it 1-2.
Tokyo, who is on a roll, takes the lead even on second balls and aims for the goal while dominating the ball.
Occasionally, we face a pinch from the opponent's counter, but Takase's good defense and the defensive line respond by putting their bodies on the line.
Terayama, who came on as a substitute, responded to the defense's hard work.
In the final minutes of the match, Terayama equalized with a header after Hara brought down Sugiyama's cross.
The opponent's goal was threatened even during the additional 3 minutes, but we were unable to score the winning goal and the game ended.
Despite the unsatisfying draw at 2-2, we were able to earn 1 point and continue to chase the top teams.
