From the start, both teams threatened the goal from free kicks.
In the 2nd minute, a right free kick was awarded to the opponent, but Iizuka calmly caught it.
Tokyo earns a left free kick in the 7th minute, and Banguna sends it to the far post. Terayama heads it back, but they are unable to take a shot.
Tokyo wanted to take control, but struggled against Yōwa's intense pressing and couldn't connect the ball well.
If the long pass from the defensive line cannot be maintained well in the front line, it will also struggle in the battle for second balls.
In the midst of that, Tokyo launched an offensive from the right side, and in the 20th minute, Imamura received a vertical pass from Banguna and advanced deep into the area.
When the negative cross is sent to the far post, Kusazumi dives in, but is not allowed to take a shot.
In the 29th minute, Amano throws in to Banguna, who passes to Kobayashi. He attempts to cross after dribbling, but it is cut off by the opponent, resulting in a corner kick.
In this match, the first corner kick from Tokyo was taken to the far post, but the opposing GK was unable to handle it, and Terayama could not make contact to score.
Then, in the 39th minute, a ball was sent from the right side to the near post, and finally, a shot was taken from a cut-in, resulting in the first goal being conceded.
Furthermore, in the 41st minute, Iizuka made a great save with his left foot in a one-on-one situation against the opponent, and in the 42nd minute, he made a diving catch from a shot taken from a cross on the left.
No additional goals allowed, returning with a score of 0-1.

Coach Sato
"As expected, a tough match. We are the challengers, and we will give 120% without fearing failure."

Tokyo wanted to score the next goal first, but in the 50th minute, they allowed an additional goal from a penalty kick after fouling an opponent in the left penalty area.
Tokyo, wanting to score a goal back, in the 55th minute, Haga cuts in diagonally from the left and takes a shot. Terayama picks up the rebound, and in the end, Imamura aims with his right foot but misses the target.
