The opponent for the 2016 Meiji Yasuda Life J3 League Sec. 8 match at Away NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium is Y.S.C.C. Yokohama, who are tied with 5 points.

Tokyo's defense, like last week, is guarding the goalmouth.
The DF line consists of Yanagi, Yoshimoto, Okazaki, and Nozawa from the right.
In the midfield, Sasaki and Yukino are at the bottom, Hirao on the right, and Insoo on the left. In the center, Ha Daesung, who will make his first start in the J3 League as an overage player, is ready.
Muriqui will continue to play in the forward position, setting up a 4-5-1 formation as in the previous match.
YS Yokohama will also adopt the same 4-5-1 formation and face the game.
The match, which became a perfect day for soccer as the temperature rose, started with a kickoff in Tokyo.

[First Half]
The game started with a battle for dominance in the midfield, as both teams set up high lines and compact formations. As time passed, Tokyo began to target the space behind the YS Yokohama DF line.
12 minutes, Yukino turns forward in the center of the midfield and Hiraoka times it to make a run behind the right side and sends a through pass.
Hiraoka dribbles this vertically and connects it to Muriqui who has entered the near side, but he cannot control the ball and is caught by the opposing GK.
In the 15th and 17th minutes, Yukino sent the ball to Muriqui who had run behind the opponent's DF line, but it was blocked by the opponent's GK.
Tokyo, who is increasing their offensive, at the 22nd minute, Muriki, who received the ball on the left side outside the midfield, exchanges a one-on-one with the opposing DF.
Insoo YU times it and jumps out behind, but Muriqui's last pass is caught by the opposing GK who jumps out.
YS Yokohama is also approaching the Tokyo goal as they struggle to score.
25 minutes, Okazaki covers and prevents a breakthrough on the left side with a sliding tackle.
However, when YS Yokohama picks up the loose ball, they are able to put in a cross in a way that catches the opponent off guard, but the defense is able to calm down and respond.
In addition, in the 29th minute, when the ball is spread from the left side to the opposite side, a shot is allowed from the cut-in.
This is protected by the crossbar and it's a close call.
Once this time zone is surpassed, Tokyo will once again start creating rhythm by receiving the ball from Ha DAESUNG and Yukino.
40 minutes, Hirayama breaks through between two opponents on the right side with his usual speed and crosses to Grander, but it doesn't connect with his teammate.
Muriqui, who came down to the midfield even in the 43rd minute, connected with Yanagi who ran up the right side.
Yanagi chose an early cross and sent the ball to the goal, but it didn't match his teammate.
Despite approaching the goal, the first half ends with a 0-0 score due to issues with the final pass.

【Halftime】
Coach Yasuma's Comment
"Let's support the front line quickly when we put the ball in. On defense, let's make our marks clear. Keep trying and get one chance."

【Second Half】
Both teams did not make any player substitutions and entered the second half.
Then, YS Yokohama started aggressively pressing from the beginning and began to take control of the game.
Despite allowing shots at the 46th and 50th minutes, the defense managed to catch and prevent any goals from being scored.
Tokyo carries the ball forward, but it becomes a one-off attack and as a result, the line starts to drop as they receive YS Yokohama's counter.
Tokyo, who is waiting for a chance to counterattack, hands the ball over to Muriqui after Insoo YU seizes the opportunity in the center of the opponent's field at the 58th minute without missing the opponent's mistake.
Muriqui approached the goal from the center, but couldn't take the shot and missed the chance.
As both sides struggled to find an attacking opportunity, the 68th minute passed by in a tense stalemate.
Muriqui expands to the right side, connects with Hirao and Yanagi, and entrusts it to Yukino. Yukino then connects it to Ha DAESUNG, who has flowed into the PA directly, but it doesn't quite match.
72 minutes into the game, Muriqui made a threatening run towards the goal from the left side. Starting from Nozawa, Muriqui received the ball and took a shot from a cut-in position.
This is blocked by DF, but Yukino picks up the loose ball, evades the opposing DF and takes a well-aimed shot, but it flies straight into the GK's face.
In the 74th minute, just after approaching the goal, they were threatened from the left side and faced a one-on-one situation in front of the goal.
When the defender jumped in to block, they ended up taking down the opposing player, resulting in a penalty kick.
They are scored first by deciding this on the left sumi.
Tokyo continues to inject Seiji and Uchida into the field one after another to give momentum to their attack.
In addition, substitute Matsoka for Insoo YU, who was injured in contact with the opposing player.
The biggest chance came to Tokyo in the 85th minute when they intensified their attack.
Muriqui makes a run behind the opponent's DF line, creating a one-on-one situation with the opponent's GK, but the opponent's GK makes a great save.
In addition, in the 88th minute, Yagi, who was placed on the right side by Yoshimoto, received the ball and jumped into the center of the goal with his left foot from the cutback to Matsoka.
Matsuoka tries to take this and head it behind the opposing DF, but once again it is blocked by the opposing GK's good defense.
In the last play of additional time 90+4 minutes, the GK joined the attack on the left corner kick.
Kono's kick was met by Yoshimoto, who came in near side, and Yoshimoto tried to volley the loose ball again, but it went well above the frame at the moment of time up.
Lost 0-1

[Manager Yasuma's Press Conference Summary]
[I would like to express my gratitude to the fans and supporters who came to support the U-23 team before the Shonan match in the hot weather.]
During the game, we understood that even among the players during halftime, the opponent was trying to create chances by putting the ball behind the defensive line and causing a bit of chaos. We talked about making sure to communicate well in those situations. In terms of the game, we were checking where we could score the first goal from a 0-0 situation. However, we ended up giving away a penalty due to a lack of patience. I hope we can use this experience to improve in the future. As for our attack, we were able to get behind the opponent's high line, but there were instances like the pass from Hirao to Muriqui being a meter off and not being able to score, or not increasing our number of shots, which shows that our precision is definitely an area we need to work on. We want to continue training with the same mindset as in the game to improve our quality. This will lead to a solid win and will also be a way to repay the fans and supporters who came to watch us despite the J1 league being held on the same day. We will continue to work hard every day to turn today's experience into something positive.

《Ha DAESUNG》
"(Playing with Insoo YU?) It was my first time playing with Insoo YU, and there were some parts that didn't match, but we were able to solve them by communicating during the game."
(How was your collaboration with other players?) There were times when young players demanded things from me, and there were also times when I demanded things from young players, but during halftime we were able to communicate and progress the game in a way where we could make requests from each other. (How was your condition?) In some J1 matches, I was in a situation where I would play and then not play, so for today's match, I reminded myself that I need to improve my game sense and condition, and that's why I played.}
