【Player/Coach Comments】

As the culmination of the camp, let's aim for victory!!

The 2016 J.League Super Cup Okinawa Round, which welcomed the final match. Following the results of other matches, Tokyo secured the championship with a draw or better.
The players aim to win this match as the culmination of the Okinawa Kunigami Village camp. Two players, Akimoto and Maruyama, were included in the starting lineup, replacing the players from the Sapporo match. The match started with Verdy's kickoff at 15:04.

The match saw intense ball interceptions from the beginning to the middle, with a back-and-forth battle between attacks and defenses.
26 minutes: Maeda in front of the goal combines with a high-headed shot from Mizunuma's left corner kick. It seemed to have crossed the goal line, but the opponent's defender deflected it, and it was not the opening goal.
28 minutes: Maruyama sends a long pass from the defensive line. Higashi runs behind the opponent's defensive line to meet the pass and finds himself in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, but Suzuki makes the save.
34 minutes: From the center of the pitch, approximately 35 meters away from the goal, Ha DAESUNG takes a powerful long shot. However, it goes wide of the target.

First half ended: The game started with a back-and-forth battle, but Tokyo took control from the middle and dominated the game.

Hasegawa scores a goal at the end! Title taken!!

Second half start: Tokyo kicks off to start the second half. No substitutions.

54 minutes: Komano, who ran up to a deep position on the left side, crossed towards Maeda on the near side. Maeda met the ball with his head, but the ball missed the goal.
57 minutes: Tokyo made substitutions with Kajiyama, Kawano, and Hashimoto replacing Komano, Mizunuma, and Maeda.
67 minutes: Tokyo launches a counterattack from Ha DAESUNG. Yonemoto opens up on the left side and passes to Tokunaga from there. Tokunaga passes to Higashi in the area, and Higashi takes a shot that curls around from the left inside the area, but the opposing goalkeeper Suzuki catches it.
69 minutes: Ha DAESUNG is replaced by Hanyu as a substitute.
71 minutes: Ogawa replaces Higashi. Hashimoto moves from right back to midfield.
90+2 minutes: GOAL!! Hanyu passes to Nathan BURNS, who breaks through the left side with Sandaza. Sandaza's cross finds Hashimoto in the center, and Hashimoto shoots with his right foot! The ball slips past the goalkeeper and into the goal.

Victory with Hashimoto's goal at the end of the game! SKY PerfecTV! New Year Cup Okinawa Round Champions!!
