Challenge League Nineteenth Round

FC Takahashi win to seal promotion play-off place


FC Takahashi Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme  2 - 1  Nittaidai Football Club Ladies
(Attendance: 270)

FC Takahashi came from behind today to beat Nittaidai and seal their place in the play-off for promotion to the Nadeshiko League. Takahashi brought Morimoto in to play in goal, while Nittaidai made five changes to their starting lineup.

Shimada Chiaki gave the visitors the lead on 28 minutes with her eighth goal this season,  following a through pass from Abe Rie. Takahashi struck back with an equaliser from Shigemasa four minutes before the break, Sugita Ami finding Shigemasa free from a free kick inside the penalty area. Shigemasa then scored just after the restart with a goal from distance, as her shot dipped and was just too high for Aoyagi to reach properly, and the unfortunate goalkeeper could only help the ball into the roof of the net.

Takahashi next travel to Setagaya looking for revenge for their home loss earlier in the season. Nittaidai have a week off before they take on Nagano at home.

Vegalta Sendai Ladies  3 - 0  Shizuoka Sangyo University Iwata Bonita
(Attendance: 2,498)

A large crowd of almost 2,500 turned up in Ishinomaki to see Vegalta Sendai win again to maintain their four point lead at the top of the table, and with three games remaining it looks certain that they will win the division and be promoted automatically.

Sendai had to wait until just before half-time for the lead goal, Kakazu shooting from just outside the box and finding the top corner for her eighth goal of the season. In the second half two headed goals from corners, one each for Takahashi and Nakahara, sealed the victory. All three goals were supplied by Uetsuji Yumi.

Next up for Sendai is an away trip to Kagoshima; Shizuoka play Nagano.

The Academy brought back five players into the starting lineup who had played in the Under-17 World Cup in Azerbaijan, while Ehime just made two changes, Mitsuhira and Onoyama replacing Osako and Sato respectively.

Masuya Rika wasted no time in adding to her considerable tally this year, netting her nineteenth of the season on twelve minutes. With seven minutes remaining Kojima Miku scored her seventh of the year to continue her impressive season.

AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies  1 - 1  Bunnys Kyoto SC
(Attendance: 289)

A point each, but neither side will be happy as Nagano try to escape from the bottom and Bunnys attempt to pull away from danger. Urasaki Yuka has been a bright spot for Nagano, scoring six of their twelve goals, and she scored again after 29 minutes to give her team-mates belief. On 63 minutes veteran Miura Kyoko scored her third of the season to equalise and maintain Bunnys' four point gap over Nagano, who have a game in hand.

Bunnys play Ehime on Saturday desperate for a win with JSCL just a point behind. Nagano are away to Shizuoka on Sunday.

Japan Soccer College Ladies  2 - 2  Je Vrille Kagoshima
(Attendance: 60)

Toriumi Mai kept up her sensational form with two goals in this game to record her ninth goal in seven games for JSCL. Her second on 64 minutes gave the home side a two goal lead and confidence must have been high that a victory was on the cards. Kagoshima had other plans though, and two strikes from Nakashima and Kurahara - the second just four minutes from time - rescued a point for Kagoshima who are now safe from relegation worries. JSCL remain a point behind Bunnys with two games to play. The first of those comes on the 28th against JFA Academy, Kagoshima play a week earlier against Vegalta Sendai.
