Third-Place Match, played on Sunday 18th of January:

Match 23:
Musashigaoka College  0 - 6  Kibi International University
(Attendance: 2,150)

Kibi International University had a very easy win over Musashigaoka College to claim third place, with a hat-trick from Nishikawa Asuka in her final game for the team the highlight. Kibi's other scorers were Takatsuka Ayane, Hamamoto Marin and final year student Muramatsu Mafuyu.

Hoshiyama has a shot on goal early in the match, dealt with well by Isashi Kaede in goal for Kibi

Kibi's opening goal came from a powerful shot by Nagano Momoko
which deflected off the crossbar...

Takatsuka Ayane had no difficulty in scoring into an empty net

Hamamoto Marin scored Kibi's third, scoring under the bar off a Nishikawa header

Musashigaoka goalkeeper Shinomaru Saki was called into action repeatedly
and here makes a good save

Nishikawa Asuka completes a fine hat-trick with this guided header on sixty minutes

Like Nishikawa, Muramatsu Mafuyu is a fourth-year student from Hokkaido.
Here she leaps highest to score Kibi's sixth and final goal

Osaka University of Health and Sport Sciences  0 - 0  Nippon Sport Science University
Nippon Sport Science University win 4-2 on penalties after extra time
(Attendance: 3,555)

A tight and even match in which defences dominated ended up going to a penalty shoot-out, where Nittaidai's players held their nerve better to win and take their sixteenth intercollegiate title.

First-year student Inoue Nene watches Sato Rina's early shot sail high over the bar

Sato runs at Abe Rie; both defences were very well organised

Uemura Shoko is disappointed in herself when her first good chance misses the target

Unno Kana is not a tall goalkeeper but was commanding in her goal area

Kusano Shiho (#2) shields the ball from Hirata Hikari

The best chance of the second half was this shot from Mihashi Mana
which ricocheted off the crossbar

Nittaidai midfielder Enokidani Misaki looks to hold the ball up

Matsuoka Sayuri hits the post, the second of her side's penalty misses

Uemura Shoko steps up confidently to score the winning penalty

Semi Final Matches, ties played on Friday 16th of January:

Match 21:
Musashigaoka College  1 - 4  Osaka University of Health and Sport Sciences
(Attendance: 643)

An opening goal from Hoshiyama Ayaka gave Musashigaoka College early hopes of reaching another intercollegiate final but Osaka UHS responded quickly and were soon level, captain Mihashi Mana with the goal. Honda Saki scored twice as the Kansai side pulled away, with a final goal coming from Kuwahara Akane.

Hoshiyama Ayaka scores early in the game via a deflection

Osaka UHS captain Mihashi Mana gets to a cross and heads home the equaliser

Osaka UHS goalkeeper Unno Kana makes an important save from Matsunaga Mami

Match 22:
Kibi International University  0 - 1  Nippon Sport Science University
(Attendance: 780)

Nagashima Hikari's lone goal just before half-time was all that Nittaidai needed to see off the champions and move on to yet another intercollegiate final. Kibi tried their best but the Nittaidai defence was well organised and restricted Nishikawa Asuka from getting shots in on goal.

Nishikawa Asuka was lively early in the game and struck the crossbar with a fierce shot

Goto Ami tries to find room to get a clean shot away but her attempt went well over

Isashi Kaede catches the ball from a corner kick

Nagashima Hikari scores the only goal of the game, turning and stroking the ball home

Kibi looked to create opportunities by hitting their taller players,
Nishikawa and Muramatsu (above)

The 36th Empress' Cup - Final

Final Match, played Thursday 1st of January:

Match 35:
Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies  0 - 1  Nippon TV Beleza
(Attendance: 6,120)

Both Beleza, looking for their eleventh Cup victory, and Urawa, looking for their first, were unchanged from the their respective semi-finals and both will have been fully confident before kickoff that they had enough to win this year's first trophy today.

Beleza went on the attack from the off as expected with their young forward players lively and adventurous. Urawa closed down the Beleza midfielders well and prevented the opposition from building attacks. However, they couldn't prevent Beleza from gaining the advantage and in the ninth minute Ariyoshi had a shot blocked for a corner after a fine dribble from Shimizu Risa. The corner kick came to nothing but it was obvious early in the game that Urawa could not rely on Beleza being as poor in front of goal as JEF United had been in the semi-final.

Urawa picked up the pace a little thereafter, Goto creating some openings and in the fifteenth minute they won their first corner kick but tight defence from Beleza snuffed out any chance to shoot.

At the other end the breakthrough for Beleza was coming, and it eventually arrived from Tanaka Mina. She picked up the ball ahead of Kohata and turned but lost the ball. Momiki picked it up, had a shot and when Ikeda could only parry, Tanaka was there to finish off.

Beleza weren't happy to sit on a one-goal lead and continued to pepper Ikeda's goal with shots. With twenty-seven minutes gone and no shots yet produced, Urawa replaced Saito Akane with Seike Kiko, who moved up front alongside Goto.

Urawa still made little headway and it wasn't until the thirty-eighth minute that they had a decent strike on target, Shibata Hanae having a go from outside the area. Moments earlier Muramatsu Tomoko suffered a head injury but was able to continue after some treatment. Goto Michi wasn't so fortunate, as a seemingly innocuous challenge from Iwashimizu Azusa left her needing more significant treatment, though she was ultimately able to soldier on until half-time.

At half-time Urawa brought on Usui Rie for Wada Naoki as they made their second change, with Beleza yet to make their first. Certainly their manager Teratani Mayumi will not have had any concern with any particular player, and they came out playing the same slick passing footballl they had done in the opening forty-five minutes.

Kishikawa Natsuki shot wide from well outside the area and though it was a good attempt, the fact that it was such a speculative shot reflected how few chances Urawa had had to this point in the game.

There followed a lengthy period of Beleza possession, and they will have been frustrated by their inability to find a second goal. Urawa's chances were limited but as they showed against JEF United, they always had the potential to equalise. Seike Kiko had a chance or two to show her prowess when running at the Beleza defence but was unable to penetrate sufficiently to do damage.

It was Beleza who had the next clear opening, Sakaguchi Mizuho with a fine shot saved by Ikeda to give Beleza their third corner kick of the game, though like those previously, it came to nothing. Hasegawa made an exciting slalom run through the Urawa defence but her shot was weak and easily saved.

In the thirty-ninth minute Urawa made their last change, Dozono Ayano being replaced by Ishii Saki. Urawa kept looking to exert pressure on the Beleza goal, but the defence was very solid and dealt with each successive attack well.

On ninety minutes Hasegawa Yui intercepted a ball and had a tremendous chance to win the game for Beleza but shot wide badly. Kiryu came on just as time ran out, but she had little to do as the referee blew for full time seconds later and the delighted Beleza players celebrated their eleventh Cup victory, and first in five years.
