After breakfast, we explored the resort from 10 am.
The BAIA Resort where we are staying is a resort facility in Sardinia, complete with pools, beaches, and a gym.
The players refreshed themselves in the sea for about an hour.

Coach Morishima's comment
"I am grateful to the tournament organizers for arranging a match for us despite our elimination from the final tournament. We were able to play a serious game, even though it was a training match, and we are grateful for the opportunity. Our opponents were a team that made it to the best 8 in this tournament, but we showed good results in terms of fighting spirit. We want to build on this when we return to Japan."
Antlers ATC13 played aggressively from the start, both offensively and defensively, taking an early 2-0 lead with a header from Ota from a cross and a long-range shot from Tsujimura. In the 35th minute, Nakajima scored from a corner kick to make it 3-0. We conceded a goal just before the end after the opponent got behind our defense, but we won 3-1.

After the match, we returned to the hotel for a late-night meal, then watched the UEFA Champions League on TV. The players seemed to notice the cultural differences in football, as players from other teams staying at the hotel sang応援歌 (cheering songs) and celebrated enthusiastically after goals.
