○Match Report
Musashino City Football Club Junior Youth team, who lost in the previous match against Tokyo Musashino City Football Club, definitely wants to avoid consecutive defeats in order to secure promotion to the top division.
At Maebashi Ikuei High School Takasaki Ground, with a temperature of 6 degrees and light rain, they challenged Maebashi FC, who are currently on a 3-game winning streak.

【First Half】
At the start, it was Frontale FC who seized the initiative with their strong momentum.
3 minutes, the right side is attacked from a counter, creating a one-on-one situation with Momoi, but Momoi prevents the opponent's shot with a great save.
After that, the attacking style of Maebashi FC, which heavily relies on long balls, continues multiple times, but the defense led by Furuya holds firm and waits for the momentum.
Then, Musashi seizes the opportunity.
22 minutes, Kurihara Shota scored a magnificent goal in the left corner of the goal from a minus-like cross from Watanabe Natsuki, who had deeply penetrated the left side, reversing the situation and taking away the desired opening goal away from home.
With this, Musashi's tension was relieved, and although they approached the opponent's goal several times, they were unable to score an additional point due to Maebashi FC's strong defense, and the first half ended with a score of 1-0.

【Second half】
In the second half, the desire to win intensified for both teams, and there was a fierce battle in terms of ball possession and transitions. Both teams made it to the goal area, but couldn't create any decisive opportunities.
In the 63rd minute, Musashi substituted Ichikawa for Kemuriyama in an attempt to change the flow.
In the 64th minute immediately after that, Sudo shoots a cross from Watanabe Natsuki, who continued to move up and down the left side many times on that day, but it is deflected by the opponent's goalkeeper.
In the 66th minute, Shota Kurihara, who scored the opening goal, shoots after a speedy breakthrough, but the shot lacks power and is caught by the opposing goalkeeper.
Musashi, who wants additional points, will further strengthen the offensive.
75 minutes, Kurihara Shota, who ran in well-timed to the early cross from the left side Sudo, had his shot denied by the post.
In the 79th minute just before the end, Itsuki UEDA's middle shot was also blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper.
Although we couldn't score any additional points, we safely managed the game and it ended.
Musashi, who protected their one precious point, managed to secure 3 valuable points away from home.
