【First Half】

Pressing quickly and attacking vertically to threaten the Marinos goal.
In the 2nd minute, Yasuda shoots a long-range shot but misses the target.
Fukagawa, who is still on the momentum, takes the lead with a goal in the 5th minute.
When the opponent's free kick was long fed, Kimura headed it back and Aoki picked up the second ball and played a one-two with Nozawa.
If you break through the opponent's defense with this, calmly slide it past the opponent's goalkeeper and take the lead.
When the game starts, Marinos will shake things up with a build-up that utilizes the width of the field, but the Fukagawa defense does not give any openings and does not allow any scoring opportunities.
If both teams can maintain their concentration, the chance for Fukagawa will come at the 35th minute.
Aoki escapes behind the opponent's defense with a long feed from Shin, but his right foot swing is denied by the post.
The first half ends as it is and we go into halftime with a score of 1-0.

【Second half】
Both teams are threatening the goal from the start.
43 minutes, Aoki breaks through to the PA and crosses to Nozawa, but it is blocked by the goalkeeper.
Marinos, in the 45th minute, shakes Fukagawa with a side change and advances near the PA, but the shot is off target.
Immediately after the 46th minute, Sato fails to score a goal despite being one-on-one with the goalkeeper due to the opponent's clearance mistake.
Deep River continues to endure a time of patience as their stamina gradually diminishes due to temperatures exceeding 30 degrees and the tension of the tournament.
61 minutes, Kumakura deflects the opponent's cross ball but it is pushed in, 1-1.
In the 68th minute, a cross from a low position on the left side resulted in a shot from a post-play that pierced through and caused a reversal.
In the 73rd minute, Fukagawa crossed from the right side to Aoki, who was waiting far away. He calmly controlled the ball with his chest and scored a goal, equalizing the score again.
Amidst the intensifying tension as both teams aim for the final goal, an unexpected situation arises that is difficult to predict.
Additional time, a player from Fukagawa who returned to their own penalty area after the opponent's counterattack loses balance and falls.
The ball hits the hand and gives a penalty kick.
Kumakura, the "guardian deity," prevents this pinch with a super save, leading to extra time.

【Extension】
Amidst the tension throughout the entire field, the game starts moving from the beginning.
Shortly after the start of the 81st minute, Marinos were brilliantly broken down by a coordinated attack and ended up losing.
Still, in the 88th minute, Fukagawa, who never gives up, scored his second goal of the day by controlling the ball with his chest and shaking off the goalkeeper before scoring.
It becomes 3-3 with Aoki's hat-trick goal.
As the second half of the extra time begins, both teams start to tire out and it becomes a battle of willpower.
In the battle, including aerial combat, Fukagawa shows his determination.
As time passed with a tense atmosphere, the match reached 100 minutes, with the possibility of a penalty shootout.
Tokiwadai sends an accurate feed to the front line with a loose ball in the midfield.
Riku NOZAWA, who reacted to this, breaks through behind the DF and becomes one-on-one with the GK.
Amidst the gaze of everyone on the field, Riku NOZAWA calmly shakes the net and scores a thrilling comeback goal.
The defense team maintained their concentration until the end of the game without losing focus.

We have just won a fierce battle, and in the developmental stage of junior high school students, although there are still many challenges remaining, we want to use this hard-fought victory to connect to the future of the team and individual growth, despite the difficult situation and adversity.
