Second day of the tournament.

The opponent in the second match is the Colorado Rapids.

Before the match, the players gathered voluntarily to conduct detailed checks in preparation for the game.

The match started, and the action began in the 10th minute.
Player Jo scored the opening goal from a rebound off a corner kick!

After that, while holding the ball, they gradually approached the goal, but they couldn't score due to the opponent's tenacious defense.

And they were unable to score additional points, ending the first half.

During halftime, active discussions take place to align everyone's awareness for the second half.

Although the team maintained an advantage in the second half, they struggled to score additional goals and, in the 20th minute of the second half, a series of mistakes led to conceding a goal. After that, the substitutes actively pushed towards the goal, but they fell just short as the second half came to an end.

The match will go to a penalty shootout.
_{* In the group stage, the winner of the penalty shootout receives 2 points, and the loser receives 1 point.}

Everyone forms a circle and comes together as one.

The players from Tokyo definitely converted their penalties, while player Shinbori completely read the opponent's kick and made two saves!

We achieved a magnificent victory and were able to earn 2 points, but the outcome of advancing from the group stage depends on the result of the final match against Chicago Fire FC.

The team will recover well and prepare for tomorrow's match.
Thank you for your support tomorrow as well.
