Bunnys Kyoto SC versus Shizuoka Sangyo University Iwata Bonita (Challenge League Twenty-First Round)

Bunnys Kyoto SC  1 - 1  Shizuoka Sangyo University Iwata Bonita
(Attendance: 120)

Bunnys Kyoto came into this game with an opportunity to move up to eleventh in the table with a win, while for Shizuoka Sangyo their final position of sixth had already been determined, as they started the game four points behind Fukuoka J. Anclas.

Shizuoka Sangyo took the lead very early, captain Sayama Momoko heading in a free kick after three minutes, her ninth goal of the season. Bunnys found themselves level on twenty minutes, with their top scorer this season Kushige Aoi scoring her eighth of a fine season since moving from Fukuoka J. Anclas. Both sides had chances thereafter but neither could make any further breakthrough, thus the points were shared and both sides will be reasonably pleased to have ended the season with a draw.

Shizuoka Sangyo have had a good season and can build on what they have achieved for another promotion push next season; Bunnys Kyoto will need reinforcements, especially up front, if they are to have any chance of progress in 2014.
