Challenge League Sixth Round

Fukuoka J. Anclas  3 - 0  Tokiwagi Gakuen High School
(Attendance: 312)

Tokiwagi Gakuen lost their 100% winning record in Kyushu today as Fukuoka confirmed their title credentials with an excellent 3-0 win. Tagashira Yoko scored the first two either side of half time, with Fujimoto Yuki scoring in additional time. For Tokiwagi there was the extraordinarily rare sight of a sending off - Hirata Miki receiving a red card for fouling Hirata Hikari with six minutes remaining. Next weekend sees the first highly-anticipated clash between Setagaya and Fukuoka which will go a long way to determining who is in the running for promotion at the end of the season.
