○Match Report
【Challenge to the next stage】
The 14th round of the 2017 Prince Takamado Trophy U-18 Football League Premier League EAST will be held at the away game at "Hitachi Kashiwa General Ground".
The day before, coach Sato passionately told the players, "As FC Tokyo, we absolutely cannot lose today's match, especially against Kashiwa Reysol who we lost to in the J1 League match."
And "The system doesn't matter. Hard work and ball control are important. Let's fight together until the last second without giving up."
Many fans, supporters, and parents will gather for this important match, which can bring us closer to the top depending on the results of other games, and fill the stands.
Players challenged Kashiwa with pride as a club.

【First Half】
The game starts moving in the early stages.
In the 8th minute, Yoko Yama, who had been able to kick a good ball from practice, got a right corner kick and made a pinpoint pass to Yoshida, who jumped into the near post, to take the lead.
The game will now develop with both teams showing their respective characteristics.
Kashiwa connects precise passes from build-up, including GK, and does not allow Tokyo players to receive the ball easily.
Tokyo, on the other hand, uses their natural athleticism as a base to put pressure on the front line with coordinated pressing from Yoshida and Imamura, while Sugiyama and Terayama pick up second balls.
However, they are struggling to take the ball and are being pushed back into their own half.
In attack, we try to quickly take the opponent's ball and make repeated runs behind their DF line with Yoshida and Imamura to create opportunities.
Now, as we survive this time zone, Imamura comes close to scoring at 32 and 34-39 minutes, but Yamanaka is unable to add another point.
And in the 43rd minute, Sugiyama intercepted the ball on the right side of the midfield and continued to move forward, breaking through the right side with a one-two pass with Yoshida.
Now, when you put in an early cross in front of the goal, Imamura jumps in but just barely misses it.
After missing this chance, at the 45th minute, the opponent's right long throw was cleared near the goal, but it was passed back to the opponent again.
When this is sent to the far side, it is pushed in for a free equalizer and the first half ends in a tie.

【Halftime】
Manager Sato: "We must not underestimate this game. Both teams have scored from set pieces, so we must be careful in both attack and defense. Let's do the dirty work and play the way we want to."

. "

【Second Half】
From the kick-off, Tokyo's goalkeeper stands in the way of Kashiwa's fierce attack.
46 minutes, after punching a cross from the left side, followed by 47 minutes.
The cross from the left side is blocked near the goal. Although the loose ball is picked up and becomes a decisive moment, Takase spreads his body and narrows the shooting path, sending it outside the frame.
In addition, at 50 minutes, Grander's cross from the left side again goes to the far side, and here too, Takase stretches his body and jumps in to shoot outside the frame.
At 57 minutes, the opponent's powerful jumping volley attacks the goal, but it is caught directly in front.
Continue to fight tenaciously without giving up the lead.
Tokyo put Kobayashi (Miki) in to regain the flow, immediately taking the ball from the opposing DF and entering the PA.
A powerful shot, but saved by the GK.
Furthermore, Hirakawa and Kubo were sent onto the pitch, increasing the pressure and leading to the final goal scored by Kobayashi (Miki).
79 minutes, Kubo cuts in from the right center and shoots, Kobayashi (Miki) picks up the loose ball and drives it into the net for a go-ahead goal.
After that, without easing the pressure, we continued to take the lead and advance the time, and even bounced back against the opponent's power play, with Shinohara at the center, until the end of the game.

Tokyo, who won a good game by demonstrating high skills in the battle of the ball, narrowed the point difference with the top team Shimizu S-Pulse Youth to '1'.
