At the start of the match, we troubled the opponent with our high press and entered the game in good form. However, this momentum was short-lived, and in the 8th minute of the first half, a cross from the right side was headed in, leading to a goal and making it 0-1.

In the 28th minute, Ishikawahara stole the ball in the center and sent a through pass to Eifelding. He calmly converted the one-on-one with the goalkeeper to equalize at 1-1.

In the 32nd minute, Ishizu reacted to a rebound from Kurimata's shot and calmly slotted it into the goal, making it 2-1.

In the 37th minute, Takema's middle shot hit the crossbar directly, and Kurimata reacted to the rebound, heading it in for a 3-1 lead.

In the 39th minute, a long pass from the opponent's defender allowed their forward to get behind our defense, leading to a goal and making it 3-2.

In the 41st minute, Ishikawahara's middle shot found the back of the net, making it 4-2. The first half ended here.

We conceded again at the start of the second half. In the 49th minute, a direct shot from a cross on the left side resulted in a goal, making it 4-3.

In the 57th minute, Ishikawahara's corner kick went directly into the goal, making it 5-3.

In the 73rd minute, a direct volley from a cross on the left side was hammered in, making it 5-4.

In the final stages, we faced a relentless attack, but the whole team ran and held on until the end of the match.

We have advanced to the final of the lower bracket "Golden Plate group" tournament. Our opponent will be Guangzhou Evergrande Youth, whom we lost to in the group stage. This match, to be played on May 1st, will be our last.
