Nadeshiko League Division 2 Fifth Round

A penalty scored by Tanaka Yoko was enough to see Nojima beat local rivals Nittaidai and stay top of the division, with Saitama remaining two points behind, a very late Azami Rie goal giving them a precious win over Harima. Ehime had a dramatic win away to Kibi and are third in the table, like the top two they are yet to be beaten this season. Kibi have dropped to ninth, one place above Hiroshima, who lost 4-3 to Cerezo Osaka Sakai, who have recovered after a poor start to the season and are now fourth. Finally, back in the east Setagaya picked up their first win of the season, recovering quickly from going a goal down to beat Yokohama.
