[U-18] Sweden Expedition Day 3

Day 3 of Sweden Expedition.
Today, we participated in a training match (25 minutes per half) at the invitation tournament hosted by our local club team, IFK Orby Football Club.


The first match will be against the South American state selection, Ryerson West U-16.
The game was dominated by Tokyo from start to finish.

Starting with Takei's mid-range shot in the early stages, Furuya scored from a corner kick in the 12th minute, Umebara scored from a penalty kick in the 23rd minute, and Umebara scored again in the 25th minute with a combination with Ueda, leading to a 4-0 lead at halftime.

Ueda scored in the 32nd minute and Sudo added another goal in the 41st minute to further extend the lead in the second half. Although they conceded a goal from a free kick in the 48th minute, they still won their first match of the current tour with a score of 6-1.


The second match will be against the host team, IFK Orby's U-18 category team.
Despite being in the first year, we struggled with the physical strength at the beginning, but in the 9th minute, Sudo scored the first goal with a middle shot after Yasuda's ball recovery, who joined the team from U-15 on this expedition.


After that, there was a back-and-forth battle, but around the start of the second half, thunder began to roar and unfortunately the game was cancelled due to heavy rain at the 37th minute. However, it was a good start with two consecutive wins.



After the match, a barbecue tournament was held with the American team and women's team that we played against, and the players deepened their relationships.
