Nadeshiko League Division 2 Twelfth Round

Fukuoka J. Anclas  0 - 1  Sfida Setagaya FC
(Attendance: 184)

Setagaya have made something of a habit of scoring late, and again on this occasion it was Tomiyama Hitomi who scored a decisive late penalty to give her side an important win, one which keeps them above Fukuoka, the gap now stretched to four points. Fukuoka have only scored four goals in twelve games and unless their form picks up they will likely be relegated.

Ehime FC Ladies  4 - 3  Japan Soccer College Ladies
(Attendance: 282)

When Iwamoto Yuka scored Ehime's fourth goal in the fiftieth minute, adding to Akune Mana's opener and Oya Ayumi's brace, her side must surely have felt that a comfortable victory was theirs if they simply played out time. The JSC players had other ideas and within thirteen minutes had pulled two goals back, but were unable to add to this until a final additional time goal made it a one-goal game. Ehime held on desperately in the final seconds and took the win to stay in the top five. The Japan Soccer College is still bottom.

AS Harima Albion  1 - 1  Nittaidai Fields Yokohama
(Attendance: 255)

An away point for Nittaidai moves them to within two of Nojima, but they were not at their best and allowed the extra two points slip away. Harima took the lead through Murakawa Saki, her sixth goal of the season but second-year student Hirata Hikari equalised just before half-time to leave Nittaidai third and Harima fourth.

Ange Violet Hiroshima  2 - 1  FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme
(Attendance: 726)

Hiroshima's recovery from a bad start continues and for the second time this season they beat near neighbours Kibi 2-1. Saihara Mizuki doubled her scoring total for the season with two goals, one in each half. A reply from Ikejiri Mayu, now Kibi's top scorer, proved ultimately to be the visitors' only consolation and the university side are in danger of dropping down to the Challenge League.

(Attendance: 1,500)

A second six-goal victory for leaders Nagano over their nearest rivals has made them odds-on favourites for the Division 2 title and promotion. Tomari Shiho, who scored all six of those goals in the sides' first meeting, scored twice again today and her brace was replicated by Yokoyama Kumi, with Saito Akane and Tanaka Nami also scoring.
