○Match Report
【Challenge to the next stage】
After the previous day's typhoon, the weather changed and we welcomed the high temperature of 33℃ in the clear sky for the high school Emperor's Cup U-18 Football League 2017 Premier League EAST Sec. 13.
Home match against Omiya Ardija Youth at Tokyo Gas Musashino-En Multipurpose Ground.
Manager Sato said to the players, "It will be a total battle including the reserves in the high temperature game. I think set plays will be the key. Let's focus on quantity in everything."
Today, many fans, supporters, and parents came to cheer on and challenge Omiya with the players.

【First Half】
At the beginning, it was Omiya who held the ball, but it was Tokyo who made the move towards the goal.
2 minutes, a vertical pass from HASEGAWA to HARA, connected to KOBAYASHI (Miki), and to OKANOHANA who ran up the right side.
Arakawa heads this cross but it goes wide of the goal.
In addition, in the 5th minute, Kubo steals the ball in the opponent's territory and passes it to Hara, but the heel pass to Arakawa is slightly off and he cannot take the shot.
In the following 6 minutes, from Kubo's dribble, Hara carried the opponent on his back in the center of the PA, but couldn't finish it off.
Although the opponent almost broke through on the counterattack from here, Sugiyma, who desperately returned, made the cut.
Even in the midst of intense changes in offense and defense, respond firmly.
After that, Omiya sends a long ball to the FW while moving the ball from the DF line.
Tokyo, on the other hand, launches counter attacks from balls taken by short counters and DF lines.
In addition, by connecting precise passes in the center and gathering the opponent, we can launch a variety of attacks such as side attacks from both sides.
However, both defensive lines put their bodies on the line around the penalty area to protect the goal, resulting in a stalemate.
In the 39th minute, in such a situation, Harada received the ball on the left side, and Shigeta and Arakawa, who were positioned in the center, connected passes intricately, and finally Hara took a shot.
This hits the opponent's DF, and Shinohara scores a high header on the far side with a right kick from Shinaida, making it 1-0 and ending the first half.

[Halftime]
Coach Sato: "The second half will be against the wind. Let's be careful with set plays and how we lose the ball in our own half. We must not show any openings and be mindful of how we start the second half."

【Second Half】
Shinohara, who scored a goal at the beginning of the half, is active on both offense and defense.
Created chances from long feeds at 46 and 52 minutes, and defended by blocking a shot from a left cross at 50 minutes.
Boost the team and enhance concentration.
Afterwards, both teams maintained a strong defensive base and the game continued without losing focus.
Tokyo accelerates the momentum of their attack by bringing in Yokoyama at the 60-minute mark. He enters from the right side and launches an offensive from there.
63 minutes, dribbling vertically on the right side and crossing near, 69 minutes, jumping out to the back of the right side and crossing to Kobayashi (Miki), but GK makes a good save.
Tokyo continues to send substitute players one after another in order to maintain control.
Maintaining possession of the ball, while not rushing unnecessarily, launch a varied attack while utilizing the entire pitch.
To take points from Omiya, they will launch side attacks, but the defense remains calm and responds, and midfielder Sugiyama also holds the key to the goal by not losing to the opponent in one-on-one situations.
The chance for an additional point came in the 90+2 minute of added time.
From Yokoyama's dribble, Okanote goes around the outside and crosses, but despite three people jumping into the goal area near the end of the game, it does not result in a goal.
We accumulated 3 points by being conscious of playing a game in high temperature without lowering our exercise level until the end, and not creating any gaps in our game plan.

Thank you very much for your passionate support for the players today.
We kindly ask for your continued support and warm cheers for FC Tokyo U-18.
