After a late breakfast, we held a meeting from 11:30 AM.
We organized what we needed to do based on video footage of the opponents from the first day of the tournament and aimed for a unified approach to the game based on a shared understanding. After lunch at 2:00 PM, we took a walk and did exercises from 3:15 PM, had a meeting from 3:45 PM, and left the hotel at 4:30 PM to head to the match venue.

After our walk, we did exercises and stretches in the hotel's underground parking lot. Today was the hottest day of our Korea tour. Even though it was a night game, the humidity remained, making it a very tough match.Today's Match Results

GK 1 Matsuzaki
DF 11 Kanazawa 4 Sato 3 Yamamoto 2 Shirai
MF 5 Asuma 7 Takezawa 8 Kawashima 10 Watanabe
FW 9 Ishizu 13 FujiedaIt was a very hot game, so the opponent could barely apply pressure from the front, and the first half allowed us to develop the ball securely. In the 13th minute of the first half, there was a dangerous situation where the opponent's direct free kick hit the post due to a misjudgment by goalkeeper Matsuzaki, and the rebound was shot, but this was the only crisis.
We scored goals from similar plays in the 25th and 29th minutes of the first half. A dribble initiated in the center opened up the right side, and a cross led to a goal. We got in front of the opponent in front of the goal and scored. Even after that, we had many chances but couldn't convert them.

In the 6th minute of the second half, a desired set piece resulted in a goal. Kawashima took a right corner kick, and Shirai jumped in at the near side in the center, scoring a magnificent header.

However, in the 18th minute of the second half, our concentration lapsed, and we conceded a goal from a free kick restart, connecting from the left wing and heading the ball in. This was a goal conceded from a set piece that should not have been lost, so we decided to regain our rhythm with player substitutions from this point.
In the 20th minute of the second half, Matsuzaki was replaced by Tsuneyoda as goalkeeper, and in the 24th minute, Watanabe was replaced by Shinozuka. Before that, we scored the decisive fourth goal. Asuma's mid-range shot created a rebound, and Ishizu scored from Kawashima's cross, sealing the match.Player substitutions in the final stages of the match included Yagi replacing Ishizu in the 29th minute of the second half. Akatsuka replaced Kawashima in the 33rd minute. Furthermore, Ujihara replaced Yamamoto in the 37th minute, utilizing all five substitution slots.
The final positions were as follows:
