【First Half】
In the early stages, it was Tokyo, the home team, who took the initiative after the kickoff by Osaka.
3 minutes, YANAGI passes back to NOZAWA near the right side PA and sends it directly to the far side. LIN and Insoo YU jump in here, but they overlap and cannot combine.
In the 6th minute, Insoo YU attempted a solo dribble breakthrough but was not allowed to take a shot.
In the 7th minute immediately after, Lins was fouled in a post-play and Insoo YU aimed directly for the free kick but missed the target by a wide margin.
Tokyo, who took the first shot, continued to possess the ball and actively made vertical passes to Hayashi to create opportunities, not letting up on their attacking moves using both sides.
However, due to slight misalignment in passes, it is not possible to launch effective attacks.
Tokyo, which takes the lead in reacting to second balls and competing in ball battles, is unable to create opportunities and becomes deadlocked.
22 minutes, Osaka wins the long kick from the GK and clears it back. The opposing FW tries to close in on it, but Enomoto jumps out to the edge of the PA line and catches it.
When Osaka continued to put pressure on the Tokyo DF line with a press from the front, in the 26th minute, Okazaki had the ball taken away from him and Nozawa successfully defended the one-on-one situation as he entered the penalty area.
Tokyo started to peel off the press using middle passes and one-twos from the front line, and it happened in the 38th minute.
When Ogawa steals the ball in the center of his own field, he passes it vertically to Hayashi. He then connects it directly to Hiraoka on the right side and breaks through vertically with speed.
Sasaki aims for a header towards the goal when a cross is delivered to the center with his right foot, but the goalkeeper saves it weakly in front.
In the 38th minute that followed, Tokyo, who made a move from the center, continued to shoot with Hayashi, but the defender blocked it.
In the midst of intense battles in the midfield, both teams have been committing numerous small fouls, and it is now the 45th minute.
Osaka gives a free kick on their own right side, and a sharp ball is kicked near, but Hayashi clears it.
With this, the right corner kick was given, but Insoo YU blocked it back to the right side amidst the scramble.
Once again, Insoo YU takes a right corner kick and heads it near the opponent, resulting in a goal kick.
The first half ends with a scoreless situation, with only 3 shots from Tokyo.

"As planned, the opponent is pressing from the front but we are not losing."
Enter firmly from the start of the second half.

Tokyo also started attacking from the beginning of the second half.
From the start, Insoo YU made a move on the right side, and in the end, he slid in to try to reach the cross from Nozawa's shot, but just missed.
The one who moved the game was the team's top scorer, Insoo YU.
49 minutes, Suzuki passes the ball he picked up to Nozawa, who then passes it vertically to Hayashi. Hayashi, who has turned around, passes it to Insoo YU running up the left side, who then enters the left penalty area.
He feints the opposing DF and cuts inside, then swings his right foot to score the opening goal, making it two consecutive goals in two matches.
Tokyo, who is launching an offensive, steals the ball in the opponent's central area at the 54th minute and executes a short counterattack.
HAYASHI, who picked up the ball, passed it to HIRAOKA on the right, and crossed it to the center. He took a shot from the crowded area, but it was blocked and ultimately ruled offside.
Tokyo continued to play aggressively on both offense and defense, but in the 63rd minute, Kubo was substituted in for Nozawa, who had been injured in a collision with an opposing player.
Yoshiatsu OIJI drops back to the defensive midfield position, while Kubo moves into the second row in the center.
Tokyo pops up all over the pitch, creating rhythm.
However, Osaka's defense around the PA area continues to put their bodies on the line and make it difficult for us to create opportunities.
To break through this situation, Hiraoka was substituted for Abe in the 73rd minute, with Abe moving to the front line and Hayashi shifting to the right side.
In the 77th minute, Kubo, who received the ball in the center, created space and passed a through ball to Insoo YU with his left foot outside.
Insoo YU tried to aim for the far side from the left PA, but the covering defender returned and cleared the ball near the sideline.
On the contrary, in the 81st minute, Osaka faced a pinch as they connected four direct passes and ultimately had a near miss from a cross from the right side.
Tokyo, who is counterattacking, has Kubo take the first shot in the J-League.

Furthermore, Suzuki passed the ball directly to Abe in the center near the end of the game, and he made a through pass behind the opponent's defense.

【Summary of Coach Nakamura's Press Conference】
"Today, as it is the final match, many fans and supporters have come, and I would like to express my gratitude for the great atmosphere in the venue."
The game was similar in style as both teams were U-23 teams.
We entered the game with the intention of not losing in the areas of ball control and transitions, as they are a team that plays aggressive football.
Everyone ran well from the start.
However, there were still many mistakes along the way, and there were also situations where we invited trouble from short counters after being put under pressure by the opponent.
There were still some areas that were lacking, but in the second half, we were able to improve the quality by addressing those areas and making substitutions. I think it was good that we were able to score a nice goal cleanly.

【Player Comment】
《Riku NOZAWA》
"First of all, I believe we were able to start with a strong determination, considering it was the final match of J3."
I think it was good that we were able to fight in that aspect because we entered the game with a strong desire not to lose in the ball contest.
However, there were also accidents such as injuries, and there were moments when I couldn't play as I wanted.
I think it was good because we were able to fight and make calm situational judgments as a whole.
(How was your play?) I also had a sense of being able to deliver passes as intended.
There were scenes where the body was used to commit fouls even in defense, but I think we were able to prevent easy plays and were able to press back, so I think it was good.
(How was your play over the past year?) At first, my condition didn't improve and I couldn't play the way I wanted or with the passion I had.
However, I think we were able to grow in various aspects by playing games throughout the year, and I especially think we were able to grow in terms of heartfelt plays and defense.
(Message to fans and supporters for the upcoming season) This season was not satisfactory in terms of both individual and team results, but I will work harder to grow and contribute to the team's strength next season. Thank you for your support.
