○Match Report
The 2018 Kanto Youth (U-15) Soccer League Division 1 kicked off with a direct showdown between FC Tokyo U-15 Fukagawa and Musashi, the first since the 2016 season.
Many fans, supporters, and parents rushed to the game venue, which became Musashi's home game.
The match started with a loud cheer from the registered non-playing players of both teams, supported by the Musashi Kickoff.

<First half>
The exchange of offense and defense is intense from the beginning, and it becomes a speedy development. Musashi takes the lead.
5 minutes, Miyashita on the right side makes a well-timed long pass to Takahashi who is aiming for the back.
Kore o Takahashi ga Fukagawa DF to kōrinagara, hāfubaundo no bōru o shikkari to kontorōru shi netto ni tsukisasu.
The score moved early in the game, but both teams embodied the style of football they wanted to play.
When trying to build up carefully from the DF line, Fukagawa relies on OYA and NOZAWA as the starting point.
Musashi boldly aims for the space behind the Fukagawa defense line with Takahashi and Sakurai.
In defense, we also initiate a coordinated press from the front line through quick transitions between offense and defense, aiming to steal the opponent's freedom and dismantle their play at a high level.
As the time for Fukagawa to enter the Musashi field was extended, Musashi also began to dominate the ball and threaten the goal after about 30 minutes. However, Musashi took the lead and turned the game around in the first half.

<Second half>
Fukagawa, who wants to catch up with the tie, launches an offensive from the beginning.
42 minutes, Mogi, who received Suzuki's vertical pass, enters the left PA and connects a negative pass to Yamazaki, but Yamada makes a great save.
In addition, in the 47th minute, NOZAWA receives a cross from GRANDER that comes from deep left PA, but narrowly misses the goal.
In the 54th minute, Kajiwara shoots with his left foot from a central breakthrough, but it is saved by Shin Yamada.
In the 57th minute, Muroshi lifted the right side and entrusted it to Iwane, who supported Takahashi. He briefly bypassed the Fukagawa defense and aimed with his left foot, but it narrowly missed the left side of the frame.
As the intense offensive and defensive battles continue without either side reducing their physical exertion, the additional time is displayed as 2 minutes.
The match seemed to be ending like this, 80+2 minutes.
In the midfield scramble, Musashi's Kato picks up the ball and unleashes a powerful long shot from near the edge of the Fukagawa team's center circle, surpassing the head of Karejima and being sucked into the goal.
The final whistle blew immediately after this additional point, and the intense high-level match with frequent changes in offense and defense resulted in Musashi accumulating 3 points.

※The match report will be the same for Fukagawa and Musashi.
