Hong Kong Expedition (May 28)

As a result of yesterday's game, we will be participating in the lower tournament.
Our opponent was YAU YEE LEAGUE SELECT Hong Kong, an amateur team that finished 3rd in Group D.

YAU YEE LEAGUE SELECT Hong Kong match kicked off at 9:54 AM
Starting members: GK: Matsuzaki, FP: Tamaki, Ujihara, Yagi, Takahashi, Kurimata, Tsuyoseda
We actively approached the ball from the start, and in the first minute of the first half, we stole the ball in midfield and scored a fortunate opening goal with a shot from Takahashi. We continued to attack, and in the fourth minute, Kurimata dribbled through the midfield, creating a chance, and Tsuyoseda tapped in Takahashi's rebound for an additional goal.
In the fifth minute of the second half, Fujii replaced Tsuyoseda to hold the lead, securing our first victory of the tournament.

This victory advanced us to the semi-finals of the lower tournament. Our opponent was Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayer Leverkusen match kicked off at 1:39 PM
Starting members: GK: Matsuzaki, FP: Ujihara, Tamaki, Yagi, Takahashi, Nakagawa, Tsuyoseda
Early in the game, it was a simulation by the opponent, but a foul was called against us, and a penalty kick was awarded. It was a referee's misjudgment, but protesting did not change the decision. It was a regrettable call, and we should have been able to switch gears and continue the game, but we collapsed badly from there. Most of the time, the ball was stolen due to our own mistakes, and we conceded goals from counterattacks, which was the worst-case scenario.
We conceded 3 goals in the first half, and at the start of the second half, Fujii replaced Yagi, and Kurimata replaced Ujihara. However, we couldn't change the flow or rhythm, conceded 2 more goals in the second half, and ultimately lost 5-0, ending our tournament run.
