After that, Musashi continued to take the initiative with intense pressing from the front line and launched a variety of attacks, including set plays, but they were unable to score due to the opponent's goalkeeper making excellent saves.
The defense also maintains their concentration for 32 minutes, as they are given a through pass behind the DF, but Natsuki Watanabe covers and does not allow a chance to be created.
In the latter part of the first half, Musashi came close to scoring from a set piece or a goal. In the 38th minute, Furuya took a left corner kick and volleyed a shot on the far side, but it hit a defender and unfortunately missed the right side of the goal.

After conceding a chance to the opponent immediately after taking the lead, we continued to threaten their goal but the goal seemed far away.
Then, in the 59th minute, Musashi started to be pushed back by Chiba's power play attack after a system change and conceded a goal from a counterattack.
Furthermore, in the 66th minute, a cross was sent from the left side, and when it was kept by the opposing FW in the center of the penalty area, they were fouled and a penalty kick was awarded.

After that, Chiba tried to score the winning goal by simply putting the ball into the goal area, but both CBs Furuya and Omori, as well as Kobayashi and substitute Tanimura, successfully defended and kept the goal.
The additional time of 80+2 minutes, which seemed to be the end, is about to finish.
Watanabe Natsuki, who received a pass on the left side, sends it to the center, and Watanabe Kazuma makes a tricky pass that catches the opponent off guard to Sudo.
Sudo dribbles past the defender and calmly assesses the movement of the opponent's GK when facing a one-on-one situation, then slots the ball into the goal to score a last-minute winning goal.
