Nadeshiko League Division 2 Seventh Round

Nittaidai SC Yokohama  2 - 0  Sfida Setagaya FC
(Attendance: 504)

Nittaidai have fallen behind the two leaders and needed a win today to keep up the pressure. They took the lead after thirty-two minutes when a cross from Uemura Shoko was finished off by Maeda Risa, for whom this was a third goal of the season. Another goal came midway through the second half, and it was Uemura herself who scored, converting a free kick by Oga.

With Nojima's loss, Nittaidai move to within two points of their Kanagawa rivals. Setagaya are sixth, now some way off the pace.

AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies  4 - 2  FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme
(Attendance: 1,223)

Kibi's new striker Ikejiri Mayu was injured in their first game this season but having recovered scored her first goal last week. Today she again scored, this time from a penalty kick, to give her side the early lead against top side Nagano. Trouble deepened for the home side when they conceded again a short time later, this time to a strike from Yoshida Nagisa. Whatever was said to the Nagano players must have worked, because they came out in a different mood and within four minutes had a goal from a penalty kick, scored by Yokoyama Kumi. They went on to completely dominate the second half, scoring three more. Hashiura Satsuki scored her first of the season, Saito Akane her second, and to round it off Yokoyama scored again, her sixth in the league this season.

Nagano stay clear at the top and at the moment look unstoppable. Yokoyama's non-selection for the World Cup means that they will not lose her services for June, and they can contintue uninterrupted. Kibi are bottom and are in danger of a second consecutive relegation.
