Coach Kumagai's comment
"We played against a professional team today, which was different from our opponents until yesterday. Although the opposing team was in the middle of their training camp and not in their best condition, they were a higher-level team than those we'd faced previously. The two goals we conceded came from set plays, and even with fatigue, they were preventable. How to play from a 0-2 deficit has been a challenge since the first half of the season. I'm glad we were able to equalize, which shows the results of our efforts. In a series of three matches, with a different environment from Japan and fatigue, adaptability was required, and the players performed well. However, it's crucial not to be satisfied with the current situation and to continue working with high aspirations. I am grateful for the opportunity to address our challenges and learn in a good environment during this tour."

Tomorrow, we plan to depart the hotel early in the morning and return to Japan.
