Nadeshiko League Division 2 Twenty-seventh Round

Sfida Setagaya FC  2 - 0  FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme
(Attendance: 1,065)

Kibi arrived in Tokyo knowing that a draw would definitely be enough to keep them up, but in the end they relied on fellow student side Nittaidai to bail them out, with both themselves and Fukuoka losing today. Setagaya have had a good recent run of form and Sunoki Yurie scored twice in the first half to seal what eventually became a comfortable victory. Kibi finish eighth, and will hope to improve next season. Setagaya, denied by Kibi in a playoff series in 2013, will look to build for another promotion challenge next season. They finish fourth.

Fukuoka J. Anclas  1 - 3  Nittaidai Fields Yokohama
(Attendance: 364)

Fukuoka's hopes of retaking eighth place from Kibi were dashed very early in this game as Nittaidai scored first after five minutes through Uemuea Shoko, with Kojima Wakiko adding a second just two minutes later. Uemura scored again from the spot after twenty minutes for her twenty-fifth goal of the season, making her the division's third-highest scorer. Marugata Rie pulled a goal back just before half-time to restore some confidence in the home side but the visitors were never in any real danger. Fukuoka now play Yokohama FC Seagulls for the right to stay in the second tier. Nittaidai finish the season in third.
