Challenge League First Round

Champions Tokiwagi Gakuen High School got their season off to a good start with a win over Tsukuba, with the schoolgirls often struggling at season opening due to the large number of newcomers to their side. In Kanto, Yamato Sylphid had a large win over Norddea Hokkaido and Orca Kamogawa were delighted to win their first league game in front of a very large crowd. In the West, Bunnys Kyoto fell to a heavy defeat to Shizuoka Sangyo, while Fukuoka started their promotion campaign with a tidy victory over Nagoya. The JFA Academy were the only away team to win, taking three points against the Niigata University of Health and Welfare.


Tokiwagi Gakuen High School  1 - 0  Tsukuba FC Ladies
(Attendance: 200)

The champions' new side were looking for a good start to the season,
and showed their attacking intent from the kickoff

Tsukuba's only win of last season came on the opening day away to Tokiwagi Gakuen

The visitors' best chance of the first half came when Suzuki Aguri missed this crossed ball and Taguchi Hikari headed goalwards...

only for Sasaki Koko to clear off the line

Tokiwagi Gakuen got into their attacking stride more in the second half, though Takahashi Ami inexplicably missed in front of an open goal

Moments later Tokiwagi Gakuen won a free kick, taken by Takikawa Yume. Kunika Shoko stretches but cannot reach, and with the ball rebounding off the crossbar...

Naito Takaho (obscured) was just one of a number of players in green waiting to pounce

For Naito, delight at scoring a goal in her first league appearance was mixed with relief that her team was finally in front
