[U-18] Sweden Expedition Day 10

10th day of Sweden expedition.

The opponent for the semifinal round is IFK Goteborg, a prestigious team from the host city of this tournament, Gothenburg.
The stadium is completely packed and has an atmosphere of being away from home.


Tokyo has been dominating the game by keeping possession of the ball from the beginning, but mistakes have been noticeable due to fatigue from consecutive matches, and they have been unable to create decisive chances.
Then, in the 17th minute, they allowed a goal to be scored by the opponent taking advantage of a momentary gap.

The same development continues in the second half.
There were some opportunities to decide, but time passed without being able to make a decision.
After 50 minutes, we were unable to break through the opponent's strong defense, and the game ended with them scoring an additional point from a free kick.


We were unable to fully demonstrate our true strength and suffered a disappointing defeat. The tournament ended with a semifinal loss and a third place finish.

Although it was not a satisfactory result, the experience gained through these five tough matches should be a great asset as a soccer player.

A new accumulation will begin from tomorrow.
