○Match Report
【Challenge to the next stage】

【First Half】
At the start, a battle for control unfolds as both teams display sharp defensive plays.
Tokyo took 6 minutes, when Yoshida broke through and crossed, Kobayashi Hiroshi jumped into the center and headed, but the goalkeeper saved it in front of him.
Then Shimizu took the initiative in the game.
8 minutes, when the opponent dribbled past the right side, they entered the penalty area. Although Takase saved the shot with his foot, the ball floated and was headed in, conceding the opening goal.
Cross from the far side to the goal line when being pressed by the opponent on the left side for an additional 15 minutes.
He is hit by a free direct jumping volley and the net is shaken dramatically, widening the point difference.
Tokyo tries to advance to score, but cannot launch a strong attack.
On the other hand, Taku SHIMIZU swiftly passes the ball and does not allow the Tokyo defense to focus on a target, making it difficult to grasp the rhythm.
However, the defense, led by Shinohara, did not lose their concentration and the attacking unit also created opportunities to attack the opponent's goal, but failed to score and went into halftime with a score of 0-2.

【Halftime】
Coach Sato: "It's not a bad performance at all. These kinds of situations are actually opportunities. Let's face ourselves and fight for the remaining 45 minutes."

【Second half】
Substituted Terayama for Imamura during halftime, changed positions, and launched a counterattack.
However, in the 49th minute, the opponent's shot hit the crossbar after they stole the ball during our dribble in our own half and entered the penalty area.
When they overcome this pinch, Tokyo gradually grasps the rhythm from aggressive play and launches an offensive, leading to scoring opportunities.
57 minutes, Yokoyama presses the ball after stealing it from the opponent's goalkeeper's pass to the defender, and makes a last pass to Yoshida near the right penalty area.
However, Yoshida's shot was unable to take advantage of the scoring opportunity as Shimizu's defender put his body on the line.
Furthermore, in the 64th minute, from Arakawa's side change, Kobayashi Hiroshi and Yokoyama played a one-two on the right side.
From there, he brings it inside and aims for a breakthrough in the center, but in the end, Terayama's shot misses the frame and goes over the bar.
In the 72nd minute, Rui YOKOYAMA was replaced by HARA to bring a change to the attack, and Tokyo scored a goal.
In the 74th minute immediately after, Hiroshi KOBAYASHI calmly scored a goal from a pass by Sugiyama, making it 1-2.
Tokyo, which is riding on momentum, takes the initiative even in second balls and aims for the goal while controlling the ball.
Occasionally, they face a pinch from the opponent's counterattacks, but Takase's excellent defense and the defensive line's commitment help them cope.
Tsubasa TERAYAMA, who came on as a substitute, responded to the defensive efforts.
In the final moments of the 90th minute, Terayama headed in the ball after Haru dropped it with a header from Sugiyama's cross, equalizing the score at the last minute.
Although we approached the opponent's goal even during the additional 3 minutes, we were unable to score a winning goal and the game ended.
Although it was disappointing to end in a 2-2 draw, we accumulated 1 point and continue to chase the top teams.

Thank you very much for your warm support to the players.
