Match Report
The opponent of the first match of the 32nd Japan Club Youth Soccer Championship (U-15) Kanto Qualifying Loser Tournament was Mitsubishi Yowa Sugamo Junior Youth.
To participate in the national tournament, victory is necessary.

【First half】
Shortly after the kickoff, Natsuki Watanabe breaks through vertically on the left side and crosses to Toshimasa Kurihara, who had entered the far side, but it narrowly misses.
Sugamo also sends a long ball behind the Musashi DF line immediately after. This results in a one-on-one situation with GK Momoi, but he calmly blocks it with his body.
In the 13th and 16th minutes, a chance was created from a pass play. In the 20th minute, Toshimasa Kurihara was fouled and earned a free kick, which Hiroshi Ueda sent into the goal area. Hiroshi Omori then scored with a powerful header.
Musashi, who had been unable to make chances, tried to shoot from the left side after expanding, but Kurihara Shota cut in.
This shot goes over the goalkeeper's head and shakes the side net to score the opening goal.
Sugamo also collects loose balls from long passes and moves towards Musashi's goal from the side.
The first half ended with a score of 1-0, although there were some tense moments towards the end.

【Second half】
The game will become a fierce exchange of fast-paced attacks and defenses.
45 minutes, Rychely's dribble shot from Tanimura's side change is blocked by the defender.
On the other hand, what made me feel a chill was in the 51st minute, when the opponent's corner kick was perfectly headed but missed the goal. They had a scoring opportunity but were saved.
Immediately after the 53rd minute, Ueda Hiroshi's free kick is blocked by the opposing GK, and Kobayashi tries to push it in, but the opposing GK defends with his body and prevents a decisive chance.
54 minutes, Musashi GK Momoi also shows good defense. Although he clears the opponent's FK once, he does not allow a goal with a quick reaction even when the loose ball goes in front of the opponent.
As the relentless attack and defense continued, in the 58th minute, the long ball kicked towards the center was cleared by the defender, but it fell in front of the opponent.
This is picked up by the opponent and the shot shakes the net, equalizing the score.
Afterwards, Musashi tried to move the ball and attack the opponent's goal, but the opponent's desperate defense prevented them from scoring, and the game ended.
Entering overtime.

【Extension】
When entering the extension, Sugamo changes their system and tightens up the area in front of the goal.
Trying to break through this, we are looking for an opening in the opponent's defense, but Sugamo is also aiming for a counterattack and we are unable to create a decisive scene.
As the game remains in a stalemate, the match goes into extra time and eventually leads to a penalty shootout.

While the fourth player from Sugamo missed, Musashi shook the net with all five players and won a ticket to the national tournament.
