Match Report
The first match of the 32nd Japan Club Youth Soccer Championship (U-15) Kanto Qualifying Loser's Tournament kicked off at 13:00 at Maebashi Comprehensive Sports Park.
United as one, we will strive to obtain tickets for the Obihiro (National Tournament) trip.
In the afternoon of Hokkaido Obihiro City, blessed with clear weather that is completely different from the previous day.
Following last year, FC Tokyo U-15 Fukagawa will make their 11th appearance and face Urawa Red Diamonds Junior Youth in this Group Stage 2nd day.
On the 15th, which was the first match, we played against SQUARE Toyama FC U-15 and won with a score of 3-0, aiming for consecutive victories in this match.

【First Half】
From the start, Fukagawa showed great momentum.
At the start of the match, Yuya Aoki takes an opening shot, and in the 3rd minute, Soma Anzai aims for a header.
The defense is also stable, maintaining compactness and coordination. GK Satoshi Coach also made a solid catch with his body facing the opponent's first shot, showing a good start to the game where offense and defense are integrated.
In the meantime, Fukagawa takes the lead.
7 minutes, Kazuma Sugawara started from the left side and passed to Shinya Arasaki, who had advanced to a high position.
From there, it connects to Aoki and he gets his third goal of the tournament, making it two consecutive games.
We gained control of the game from the start.
In response to Urawa's attacking style of utilizing the field widely, starting from the powerful long kicks of the goalkeeper, we defensively counter with an organized defense that quickly surrounds the ball carrier with multiple players.
The FW line also energetically presses from a high position, and sometimes continues to steal the ball, advancing the game in a dominant manner.

【Second half】
The game situation will not change significantly in the second half.
Fukagawa maintains a compact formation as in the first half, and Urawa repeatedly threatens with sharp dribbles.
In response to this, the forward players also drop back and work together to win the ball both in attack and defense.
However, Urawa's attack was tough, and dangerous situations were about to arise many times, but each time Fukagawa continued to confront and endure as a group.
And actively aim for the opponent's back from feeds such as Shinya Niiyoshi's after stealing the ball, and threaten the goal in succession in the 45th and 48th minutes.
Of course, Urawa was a strong opponent, but Fukagawa, as a team, responded well and performed brilliantly.
GK Kumakura's performance was also splendid.
Urawa, who was trailing by one point, came out stronger in the second half and attacked aggressively. They caught crosses and final passes with sharp movements, which boosted the team.
The coordination with the DF line is also good, and both the forward and backward players worked hard to confront Urawa.
However, as coach Masato OTA warned the players at halftime, "The score of 1-0 is scary precisely because we are playing a good game," soccer is a sport where small incidents can lead to goals.
And it becomes a reality.
In the 79th minute, Urawa, who is aiming for an equalizer and a comeback, launches a fierce attack and creates a melee in front of the goal, resulting in an own goal and the score being tied.
The match ended immediately afterwards, and the 3 points quickly changed to 1.
It is a very frustrating outcome, but we have no choice but to accept it and overcome it with our own strength.
And, it is also a part that I want to reflect on, because it is because of that power that we were able to reach the land of Obihiro.

In the Group Stage Match on the 17th, we will compete against F.Cuore U-15 at Obihiro Green Park A from 12:20.
We want to secure our place in the group stage on our own terms here.

Thank you for your continued passionate support.
