-Day 7-

Every day begins with a routine exercise that has become a daily tradition.
I think there is also fatigue from consecutive games, but the players have very good expressions.

In the morning, we shared tasks and moved our bodies to adjust our condition for the afternoon.
In soccer volleyball, there was also a height of the rope, but there were many powerful headers exploding repeatedly.

[Scorer]
15 minutes, Taichi MATSUNO, 28 minutes, Yuuki TOMOMATSU, 43 minutes, Kaito EGUCHI

【First Half】
The kick-off took place in front of a crowd of over 10,000 people. We struggled in the first half, conceding two goals and making it a difficult game. However, we gradually regained control and even had some chances to score. Maki KITAHARA's corner kick found Yuuki TOMOMATSU's header, bringing us our first goal. Then, from a cross on the right side, Yuuki TOMOMATSU ran in from the far side and scored a header, equalizing the game at 2-2 before the end of the first half.

【Second Half】
Applause naturally erupts for FC Tokyo's play, gradually winning over the crowd. They approach the opponent's goal with effective dribbling and passing.
And, from the wave-like attack in front of the goal, Kaito EGUCHI heads in the loose ball for a come-from-behind goal. The venue is now in a frenzy.
The remaining time saw fierce attacks from the opponent utilizing their physical abilities, causing some tense moments, but we held on and defended until the very end with all our strength.
And finally, the whistle for the end.


Our team has come together and made it to the final round. We want to grab the victory that we couldn't achieve in the previous tournament and return to Japan. We are grateful to have one more game and we will fight with happiness in mind!!
