Match highlights

Key highlights for this round! MATCH PREVIEW

The previous match against Yokohama F. Marinos, our home opener, was one where every player fought solely for victory.

 

Despite struggling with Yokohama F. Marinos' high press and failing to build offensive plays, our defense fought tenaciously. It was Shibasaki's pass, after coming on as a substitute, that broke the deadlock.
