Nadeshiko League Division 2 Nineteenth Round

Nojima Stella Kanagawa Sagamihara  2 - 0  Ehime FC Ladies
(Attendance: 711)

Nojima had a routine win over Ehime, with goals from Inoue Yurie - her first of the season - and from substitute Gonno Takako, who is currently on nine for the season. Ehime remain in the top four but are well out of contention. Nojima remain the most likely side to finish second and their next challenge is against leaders Nagano. A win is essential if they are to have any chance of winning the division. Ehime play the Japan Soccer College.

Kibi won a second league consecutive match for the first time since 2012 to further move themselves away from trouble and temporarily leap over Setagaya into seventh place.

Japan Soccer College Ladies  1 - 1  Fukuoka J. Anclas
(Attendance: 127)

Fukuoka will be the more pleased of the two teams to pick up a point, especially as it was they who fell behind in the first half to a Matsumoto Hotaru goal - her second goal of the season, both of which were against Fukuoka. The JSC were hoping for better having lost thirteen consecutive games, but Yanagita Shiori pulled the sides level with twelve minutes remaining, and her team remain five points clear of the JSC, but with a growing eight point gap to Kibi and safety.

Nittaidai Fields Yokohama  2 - 0  Ange Violet Hiroshima
(Attendance: 113)

Two goals in three minutes from Uemura Shoko and Goto Ami were all that Nittaidai needed to see off the weak challenge of Ange Violet, who have disappointed this season.
