Challenge League Seventh Round

Sfida Setagaya FC  3 - 1  Fukuoka J. Anclas
(Attendance: 472)

The highly-anticipated clash between two sides looking for promotion didn't disappoint the home fans, as Setagaya prevailed to move clear into second position. Shano gave Setagaya a very early lead, with Fujimoto equalising on ten minutes. Tanaka Mariko blasted home her first of the season on 26 minutes and from then on Setagaya were in complete control. Fukuoka had very few chances and with 21 minutes remaining the dependable Mori Hitomi scored her ninth of the season to secure the points. Setagaya will expect another three points as they take on Cerezo Osaka Sakai, whom they beat 8-2 on the opening day. Fukuoka will also fully expect victory as they make the short journey to Oita to play bottom side Hoyo Sukarabu.

Tokiwagi Gakuen High School  4 - 1  Cerezo Osaka Sakai Ladies
(Attendance: 120)

Tokiwagi expected beat rival schoolgirls Cerezo Osaka Sakai, who managed only one shot in the entire match. That shot was good enough for a goal though, as it glanced in off a Tokiwagi player for an own goal to equalise Ichise Nana's first league goal since enrolling. Sasaki Miwa scored twice in the second half to continue her impressive run, and Shiraki Akari also showed her form with a goal just after Sasaki's second, with the latter supplying the final ball. Tokiwagi Gakuen are away in Nagano next weekend looking for continued improvement in their position, with their visitors today at home to the determined Setagaya.

(Attendance: 189)

Shizuoka Sangyo stayed in the hunt for promotion with a relatively comfortable win over the JSCL, who had taken the lead early through Kato Yoshimi, scoring her first ever league goal. Sayama Momoko, unusually playing as a forwards, headed in an equaliser just before half-time and following the break the home side were able to pull away, with Oda Kanna and Shirai Aoi scoring.

Nittaidai Football Club Ladies  1 - 1  AS Elfen Sayama FC
(Attendance: 270)

Nittaidai finally showed what they are capable of as they came back from a goal down to draw with Sayama in a game which they dominated. Arakawa Eriko had headed Sayama into the lead following an Ito Kanako corner kick, but Sayama couldn't find another and in the second half Shimada Chiaki scored from the spot to give the students a richly deserved point.

Bunnys Kyoto SC  1 - 0  Hoyo Sukarabu FC
(Attendance: 120)

Bunnys dominated against Hoyo but could not find the breakthrough until the 79th minute when Sawada Yuka, recently transferred from AS Elfen Sayama, scored her first of the season past Umemura in the Hoyo goal. Bunnys win three consecutive games and move onto nine points and well clear of trouble at the bottom; Hoyo stay rooted to the foot of the table. Having lost to every team in their block they now look to pick up valuable points wherever possible. Their next match is a local derby against Fukuoka and it is unlikely that they will withstand the pressure.

Nadeshiko League Ninth Round

JEF United Ichihara Chiba Ladies  0 - 0  Albirex Niigata Ladies
(Attendance: 707)

Another low turnout for JEF United in Chiba saw a lively but ultimately disappointing match as neither side could find the breakthrough. JEF United will be pleased to have picked up their first point in three games, but will surely feel they should have taken all three. Niigata will also have felt they could have done more in the wake of their six-goal haul against Takatsuki.

Speranza FC Osaka Takatsuki  0 - 3  Okayama Yunogo Belle

(Attendance: 1,158)

Takatsuki's season continues to look doomed, as they were very easily overwhelmed by the visitors from Okayama, who have turned things around following a disasterous start to the season. Arimachi Saori scored her second goal in two games in the first half, and in the second Yokoyama Kumi and Miyama Aya also scored, with all three players therefore now on two goals for the season. Belle now look forward to the League Cup and second half of the season with greater hope; Takatsuki's recent form gives the impression that there's little they can do to improve.

NTV Beleza  5 - 0  Vegalta Sendai Ladies
(Attendance: 1,358)

Beleza completely overwhelmed Vegalta Sendai in Akita today with an impressive five-goal blitz. In the first half a headed goal from Kiryu was followed up by a goal from Sakaguchi Mizuho in her second start. Minutes after the restart Sakaguchi was on hand again to head home her second of the game, and this third goal for Beleza knocked the wind out of the visitors. Two minutes later Kiryu had her second of the game, and with a full thirty minutes remaining, Beleza's top scorer Tanaka Mina was on hand to score her fourth in three games and seventh for the season. Beleza now look forward to the defence of their League Cup title, while Vegalta Sendai will look to regroup and hope for the best in a tough group.

FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme  0 - 6  INAC Kobe Leonessa
(Attendance: 1,687)

FC Kibi brought back Takahashi Chiho to the starting lineup for their meeting with INAC Kobe, for whom Takase Megumi made her first start since the opening day. The champions had made the best possible start to the defence of their title and were fully expected to win comfortably.

A fine ball from Sawa saw Kawasumi lift the ball perfectly over Morimoto to give INAC Kobe the lead after 45 seconds. From a deep free kick in the fifth minute the ball came through to Noma who had Kibi's first shot on target, though it was no trouble for Kaihori. Having conceded so early, Kibi clearly felt they hadn't too much to lose and continued to go forward and take shots when possible.

INAC Kobe were playing the ball around well in midfield and Ji had a chance in the eleventh minute but hit the post. At the back the champions were less sure of themselves, as Kibi looked to put pressure on their defenders. In the fourteenth minute Ji wasn't to be denied as a header back to her from Goebel-Yanez found her in enough space to blast home for the second goal.

INAC continued to make good chances for themselves with Kibi defending desperately, though the home side did get into some good but not great positions at the other end. After thirty minutes Noma was replaced by Adachi, and just after a good ball into the box was not dealt with by Imanishi and
Goebel-Yanez shot just wide.

Following a Kibi corner INAC broke well and Takase had a chance to shoot when Kawasumi laid the ball off to her, but her shot was weak and Morimoto saved comfortably.

At half-time Tanaka Shiho entered the game, replacing Imanishi in defence. Takase had another good
chance in the first minute but hit the post and the ball ran free. Kibi had done an awful lot of running and pressing in the first half and there was a feeling that they could become exhausted in the hot conditions.

Ji So Yun had her second in the 49th minute following a good Kawsumi pass to Goebel-Yanez and her layback found the Korean international in space and her shot into the top left hand corner was
perfect. A marvellous ball through to Kawasumi from Ji saw Kawasumi round Morimoto and then evade Muramatsu to roll the ball into the net for the fourth in the 57th minute. Moments later, Goebel-Yanez was on target but the power was lacking and it was an easy save for the goalkeeper. Tanaka Yoko entered the game with an hour gone, replacing Takase.

Takano Saki made her first appearance of the season, following a broken foot early in the year. She
replaced the hard-working Hamamoto in the 65th minute. A mistake by Tanaka Shiho put Goebel-Yanez in but she blasted over in the 68th minute.

Rebecca Moros made her way into the game with just over fifteen minutes to go as fatigue started to
play a large role. INAC continued to play well and Kibi looked for every chance to shoot at goal,
Nishikawa in particular was willing to try her luck from all angles and distances.

On 83 minutes Tanaka Asuna was replaced by Kibi graduate Isokane Midori, just moments after Kawasumi shot just wide of the left hand post, seeking out her hat-trick. Ji was caught late by Takahashi and was slightly injured, with Takahashi receiving a yellow card for her troubles.

INAC beat the offside trap in the 86th minute, Ji running clear and finding Tanaka Yoko in the middle
and she made no mistake from close range.Just at the end of additional time Ji So Yun scored a marvellous goal to give herself a hat-trick, running with the ball from well inside her own half and slotting home to her obvious delight.

INAC Kobe thus go into the League Cup campaign with a 100% record, while Kibi have five points.
They'll need to work hard to avoid relegation in the second half of the season. For INAC Kobe, the
title now seems only a matter of time.

(Attendance: 1,016)

Iga started with the same eleven which had beaten JEF United, with Urawa bringing Kishikawa back into the starting lineup following her one-match ban. Although Iga had more of the chances, neither side were able to produce a goal and the away side again picked up a single point as their struggles this season continue. Iga's run of wins comes to an end at three, though they will be delighted with their overall progress this season.
