In the 5th minute, Onagasei sent in a cross from the left, and Eriki competed with the goalkeeper. Mitchell Duke quickly kicked the loose ball while falling down, and Machida took the lead. After that, Fujieda created a good opportunity from Tojiro Kubo’s breakthrough, but it did not reach the deciding opportunity. However, Machida only had one shot in the first half that scored. Still, it can be said that it was a stalemate and a good match.
In the second half, however, both teams started making easy mistakes. The amount of shots increased, but there were few scenes that threatened the goalkeeper. In the 80th minute, when the score remained unchanged and time was running out, Machida switched to a three-back position to solidify their defense. And as expected, Machida escaped with a score of 1-0, firmly maintaining the lead in J2. Tsuyoshi Kuroda now has more savings than his goal of 15 points in seven games, and will be ready for the next seven games.
