Nadeshiko League Division 2 Sixteenth Round

Nittaidai Fields Yokohama  1 - 3  AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies
(Attendance: 295)

Nittaidai had good chances to score in this game, Uemura in particular missed two one-on-one opportunities in the first half, but it was again Nagano who did the necessary and they are fifteen points clear overnight, and a further seventeen points clear of today's opponents who are third. Hamagaki Kana scored just her third of the season to open the scoring five minutes after the restart, with more regular goal scorer Yokoyama Kumi netting a second five minutes later, with Hamagaki assisting. Hirata Hikari pulled a goal back a few minutes later but there would be no stopping Nagano, for whom Yokoyama scored a third deep into additional time - her twenty-first of the season. Nagano next play Ehime at home, with Nittaidai also at home, fully expecting a good recovery against the Japan Soccer College.

Fukuoka J. Anclas  0 - 0  AS Harima Albion
(Attendance : 316)

A solitary point for Harima on their travels is another poor result in a series of disappointing recent matches, though for Fukuoka it was more valuable, bringing them level with Kibi on points even if they trail significantly on goal difference. Harima's chances of promotion are all but gone, with an immediate improvement against Setagaya next week a necessity. Fukuoka play Kibi in a do-or-die game in Kasaoka.

Japan Soccer College Ladies  2 - 3  Sfida Setagaya FC
(Attendance : 99)

With just three minutes remaining the JSC looked set to win just their second game of the season, but two late Setagaya goals meant that it is they who take the three precious points, moving them further away from trouble at the bottom, where the home side still reside. Tsurumi Marina scored her third of the season early in the game and Sakaguchi Yuki restored the hosts' lead with nineteen minutes remaining after Yamamoto Naomi had equalised for Setagaya. Yamamoto also scored the second equaliser, her third goal in two games, and in additional time the tall Tanaka Mariko headed home a corner to win the game. Setagaya are away again next week, to Harima. The JSC visit Nittaidai.

FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme  1 - 3  Nojima Stella Kanagawa Sagamihara
(Attendance : 397)

Hosts Kibi were no match for their visitors from Kanagawa, and it was Kibi's former captain Oyama Saki who put the second-placed team in the lead after just four minutes. Yoshimi Natsuki doubled the lead later in the half and nine minutes after the restart Nagasawa Madoka scored the third. Despite substitute Amano Asumi pulling a goal back, Nojima were never in danger and they went home with an easy three points. The next play Kibi's neighbours Ange Violet Hiroshima at home. Kibi have a home game against Fukuoka J. Anclas which they will feel is a must-win game.

Ange Violet Hiroshima  1 - 1  Ehime FC Ladies
(Attendance: 869)

The match between the fourth and fifth-placed sides did not disappoint, with Iwamoto Yuka first giving the away side the lead just before half-time, her third goal in five games. With just over an hour gone Hiroshima hit back with Katsurama Fumina scoring, and this was her third goal in six games. The drawn game effectively means both sides fall a further two points behind Nojima who are second, even if neither lost position. Hiroshima are away next Saturday to Nojima, Ehime are also away, to Nagano.
