In the opening ceremony, the group stage matchups were determined through a live draw, and Tokyo was placed in the same group as Blackburn, Manchester City, and Arsenal.

The first opponent is Blackburn.
Tokyo press the opponent who builds up from the DF line, with Tawaratsumida and Moritsugi leading the front line, and go to steal the ball.

And they connect the stolen ball to an attack with a short counter, but Kato, Iwane, and others take shots without resulting in a goal, and the first half ends with a score of 0-0.

Increase ball possession rate in the midfield and create rhythm in the second half.
Dai MATSUMOTO on the left side is actively attacking vertically and crosses to the center, but Iwane shoots in the penalty area and hits the crossbar.
In addition, Kajiura's left foot shot and Imano's heading shot threatened the opponent's goal, but they couldn't score and the game ended 0-0.

Tomorrow, there will be a match between Manchester City and Arsenal, both considered as contenders for the championship in this tournament.

We aim for victory in order to advance to the Final Tournament. Thank you for your support!
