【First Half】
The first match of the final round tournament. In the beginning, we were under pressure from the opponent's high physical abilities and conceded a goal in the 6th minute, our first goal against in this tournament. We struggled to gain momentum, but Maki KITAHARA's individual skill in front of the goal led to an equalizer. Both teams had chances but failed to convert, resulting in a back-and-forth battle.

【Second Half】
We will make adjustments on both offense and defense during halftime and head into the second half with a united mindset.
Set play at the beginning. Finally, a successful comeback with a header shot by Kaito EGUCHI from the second attack.
Afterwards, Eguichi calmly scored a goal in a one-on-one with the keeper, deciding the match.
In defense, the goalkeeper is the center of attention in front of the goal, and they hold their body to prevent any additional points and reach the end of the game.

The excitement of the venue is amazing, and I feel the active presence of being asked for high fives and photos.

After the match, we received a treat from someone who is attending the Cerezo Osaka Ladies, who are participating in this tournament from Japan.

Kombu onigiri, takuan, and chicken. The players were delighted to have Japanese food after a long time, and were able to recover both mentally and physically.

Tomorrow's match is

I always want to win with my team in the next game!
