○Match Report
【Challenge to the next stage】
The 14th round of the Prince Takamado Cup U-18 Football League 2017 Premier League EAST will be held at the away venue "Hitachi Kashiwa General Ground".
The day before, the coach SATO passionately told the players, "As FC Tokyo, we must not lose today's match, especially against Kashiwa Reysol, who we lost to in the J1 League."
And "The system doesn't matter. Hard work and winning the ball are important. Let's fight together until the last second without giving up."
Many fans, supporters, and parents will come to this important match, which can bring us closer to the top depending on the results of other venues, and fill the stands.
The players, with pride as a club, challenged Kashiwa.

【First Half】
The game starts moving in the early stages.
In the 8th minute, Yokoyama, who had been kicking good balls from practice, obtained a right corner kick and made a pinpoint assist to Yoshida, who jumped into the near post, to take the lead.
The game will develop into a situation where both teams will showcase their characteristics.
Kashiwa connects precise passes from the build-up, including the goalkeeper, and does not allow the Tokyo players to receive the ball and narrow down the target.
In response to this, Tokyo applies pressure with the front line of Yoshida and Imamura, based on their natural athleticism, and Sugiyama and Terayama pick up the second ball.
However, we are struggling to take the ball and being pushed back into our own half.
In attack, we aim to quickly steal the opponent's ball and repeatedly make runs behind the opponent's defensive line with Yoshida and Imamura, trying to create opportunities.
If we survive this time zone, Imamura will threaten the goal in the 32nd, 34th, and 39th minutes, but Yokoyama cannot score an additional point.
And in the 43rd minute, Sugiyama intercepted the ball on the right side of the midfield and carried it up, breaking through the right side with a one-two pass with Yoshida.
Imamura jumps in when an early cross is put in front of the goal, but it falls just short.
After missing this chance, in the 45th minute, the opponent's long throw from the right was cleared near the goal once, but it was passed back to the opponent again.
When this is sent to the far side, it is pushed in for free and the score is tied, and the first half is turned over.

[Halftime]
Coach Sato: "We must not underestimate the game. Both teams have scored through set plays, so we need to be cautious in both offense and defense. Let's work hard and do what we want to do."

【Second half】
From the start, Tokyo's goalkeeper stands in front of the goal, facing Kashiwa's fierce attack.
At 46 minutes, the ball is punched away from a cross from the left side, and immediately after at 47 minutes.
The cross from the left side is blocked near the goal. Although the loose ball is picked up and becomes a decisive moment, Takase stretches his body to narrow the shooting angle and the ball goes wide of the goal.
Furthermore, in the 50th minute, once again from the left side, Sandaza's cross goes to the far side, and here too, Kindergarten stretches his body and jumps in to shoot, but it goes wide of the frame.
In the 57th minute, the opponent's powerful jumping volley attacks the goal, but it is caught directly in front.
Continue to fight tenaciously without giving up the lead.
In order to regain the flow, Tokyo inserted Kobayashi (Hiroshi) and immediately took the ball from the opposing defender, then proceeded into the penalty area.
Despite a powerful shot, it was saved by the GK.
Furthermore, Hirakawa and Kubo were sent onto the pitch, increasing the pressure and leading to the final round goal scored by Kobayashi (Miki).
In the 79th minute, Kubo cuts inside from the right side and takes a shot, and Kobayashi (Miki) picks up the loose ball and drives it into the net with a mid-range shot to take the lead.
After that, without easing the pressure, we continued to take the lead and advance the time, and we also bounced back against the opponent's power play, with Shinohara at the center, until the end of the game.

Tokyo, who won a good game with intense battles and both teams displaying high skills, narrowed the point difference with the top team Shimizu S-Pulse Youth to '1'.
