The match, in which both teams wanted to earn 3 points, started at 14:00 with a kickoff in Tokyo.

【First half】
Tokyo, which launched its attack from the front line of Haru from the beginning, connected with Kobayashi (Miki) from Haru in the 4th minute and entrusted the ball to Sakaguchi on the left side.
When it reached Kubo who had infiltrated into the far side, the direct volley went over the frame.
The competition for dominance continues, resulting in intense exchanges between offense and defense.
Tokyo also faced a dangerous situation when they conceded a cross from the right side in the 12th minute, and in the 17th minute, Hatakeyama received a throw-in from Kubo on the right side.
Kinda fails to break through vertically and narrowly misses connecting with a ground cross from a deep position.
22 minutes, when the DF line connects from right to left with build-up, Sakaguchi passes directly to Kobayashi (Miki) who has run into the left back position.
When dribbling and shooting, if it is blocked by the opponent's defender, Kubo quickly reacts and stabs the loose ball into the net with his left foot.
Tokyo, who took the lead, is now facing a counterattack from Shiburashi City.
29 minutes, a cross is put in from the right side after a throw-in, and it is combined on the far side to equalize.
Tokyo, 39 minutes in, as Hirakawa on the left side receives the ball and passes it to Kobayashi (Miki) for support.

Hasegawa blocks with a sliding tackle to overcome a pinch in the late stages of leading 2-1, and ends the first half in the lead.

【Halftime】
Coach Sato
"We are playing a good game. Let's assess the opponent's situation and decide whether to press forward or form a block in defense. Let's focus on set plays and throw-ins."

【Second half】
From the start, Okaniwa and Kubo on the right side, along with Yokoyama who came on as a substitute, actively initiate and seize the flow.
55 minutes, when we got a free kick on the right side, Kubo sent the ball to Hasegawa in the center from Hinda's fake, but it narrowly missed.
After that, Tokyo continues to possess the ball and threatens the Ichikawa Municipal Funabashi goal from both sides, but fails to score an additional point.
Although occasionally inviting danger from the opponent's counterattacks, the defensive line, centered around Shinohara and the Hasegawa brothers, maintains its concentration.
At 80 minutes, Kobayashi (Miki) is replaced by Sugiyama to change the rhythm.
Sugiyama receives the ball in the opponent's gap and tries to showcase his own characteristics.
82 minutes, Yokoyama dribbles down the right side and connects with Okaniwa.
If you put this in front of the goal, it will be blocked by the DF, but Hirakawa picks up the loose ball and takes a shot, but it's right at the GK.
In the final stage, we effectively managed our time and, including the bench members, everyone encouraged each other without giving the opponent any chance, and the game ended.
Accumulated 3 points.
