To be played in a non-standard match format of 3 sets (30 minutes - 20 minutes - 20 minutes).


As with yesterday, we were able to dominate the game against physically strong opponents in possession, but we were unable to score.

22 minutes, Yasuda sends a CK from the left to the center, and Furuya volleys it in to score the opening goal.
After that, there were more scenes where we were pushed back by the opponent's strength in the ball, but we persevered and did not allow any goals.

In the third set, Takahashi, who joined from U-15 like Yasuda, scored an additional point and won 3-0.


In the afternoon, the players spent their free time in Varberg's city center, visiting the tourist attraction of Varberg Castle and Fortress, shopping, and watching the third place match of the Club World Cup at a public viewing in the city.


Tomorrow, we will move to Gothenburg, which will be the venue for the main tournament of Gothia Cup, and prepare for the main event.
