Nadeshiko League Division 1 Eighth Round

Having been surprised by Niigata on Tuesday, Beleza were back on form with a 2-0 win over Sendai, a goal each from Tanaka Mina and Sumida Rin keeping the champions top for another week. Nagano put in a tremendous performance to come from two goals down at half-time to beat Kobe 3-2, with goals from Tanaka Nami, Yokoyama Kumi and Kunisawa Shino. Yokoyama took both of the corners from which Tanaka and Kunisawa scored. Nagano remain third, only behind Kobe on goal difference and next week they face Beleza at home.

Urawa won their first game of the season, beating Iga with a goal from captain Kohata Shiho. They still remain bottom, three points adrift of Takatsuki, who lost at home to Niigata, Kamionobe Megumi scoring the only goal, her first of the season. JEF United also won by a goal to nil, Sugasawa Yuika scoring after just nine minutes as Belle's up and down season continues.
