On the 20th (Sat) of the 7th day of the expedition, the ranking decision match was held with a 9:30 kickoff, so we hurriedly prepared from the morning.
We played against Dynamo Kyiv from Ukraine in the 13th place playoff.
For FC Tokyo U-15 Fukagawa, this will be the last game of the tournament, so we will all come together and strive for victory to end it on a high note.

The first chance came to FC Tokyo U-15 Fukagawa. Harushiro MATSUSHITA, who had escaped behind the defense line, avoided the GK. However, the shot missed the goal.
Then, they faced two big chances in a row. But GK Haruto ITO saved both with fine saves.
However, we conceded a goal in the 27th minute of the first half and will go into halftime with a score of 0-1.
We will fight more fiercely in order to make a comeback in the second half. Then, Yuto MACHIDA calmly slots in a cross from the left to equalize the score at 1-1.

Although we wanted to quickly turn the tide and make a comeback, we were unfortunately given a PK and ended up losing 1-2.
We have had a bad flow, but we will bounce back from this flow with the strength of everyone to show growth on this expedition.

After being appointed captain on this day, Soushi YOSHIDA's shot equalized the score, and in the final minutes of the second half, Tomoki HATAKEYAMA took advantage of the opponent's gap and took a shot. However, it hit the goal post and did not result in a goal. As the game seemed to be ending in a tie, in additional time, Soma ARATA scored a dramatic comeback goal from a cross from the left.

The game ended 3-2, and we exploded with joy at the long-awaited victory.

Due to not advancing to the top tournament, there were no games scheduled for the afternoon. However, thanks to the cooperation of Paris-san who is attending, we were able to have a practice match with Juventus.

The players approached the game with the same motivation as the main tournament, while keeping a sense of gratitude.
It was a game where the issue of not being able to convert multiple scoring opportunities became apparent, resulting in a 2-4 defeat.

After that, we watched the semifinal round and ended our 7th day of activities while realizing that we were not standing there.
