Nadeshiko League Division 2 Twenty-fifth Round

Nittaidai Fields Yokohama  0 - 1  FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme
(Attendance: 147)

This match was played on August 23rd

A vital win for Kibi and a distressing loss for Nittaidai came as a result of a last-second goal from Miyaji Asuka, a late substitute for the injured Noma Fumika. Kibi dominated the first haf in terms of possession and at the back new signing Shanna Hudson showed her quality in keeping Nittaidai at bay. In the final twenty minutes Nittaidai appeared to be getting the upper hand but for all their attempts on goal they only one got close to scoring. Kibi's goal eventually came from a corner kick, Miyaji heading in Ikejiri Mayu's outswinging ball.

Kibi are now six points clear of Fukuoka, and next week host neighbours Harima. Nittaidai now face a five-point gap to Nojima ahead of them and must recover at home to Ange Violet next Sunday.
