Winner's Comment
That goal was the result of many contributing factors, a goal scored by the entire team. Suzuki's run behind the defense, Shibasaki's excellent pass from our own half, and then Ogawa's wonderful cross from the direct knockdown. I was in a good position, and Araki's movement drew the defenders away, allowing me to jump earlier than the opponent and win the header. The great support from our fans has been a huge factor in our strong performance this season, and I hope we can continue to fight together until the end to win the title in the Centennial Plan League.
