Challenge League First Round

AS Elfen Sayama FC  1 - 2  Nojima Stella Kanagawa
(Attendance: 843)

Yoshimi Natsuki was the Nojima heroine as the newcomers dealt the division favourites an early blow in their quest for promotion back to the Nadeshiko League. In just the second minute Yoshimi knocked in a corner kick and with the Sayama defence failing to clear properly, she was given another chance and when her shot came back off the bar Terada Reiko was on hand to head home for the visitors' first goal in league football.

Yoshimi herself scored in the 62nd minute with an astonishing goal direct from a free kick and although former Beleza forward Ito Kanako pulled a goal back just two minutes later the Nojima players held on to celebrate an acclaimed opening day win.

JFA Academy Fukushima  1 - 1  Japan Soccer College Ladies
(Attendance: 102)

Last season's most impressive player for the JSCL was Toriumi Mai, and she again showed her value in equalising for her side to gain them a splendid opening day point. Tachibana Yo had given the Academy the lead on 16 minutes but their intensity fell off in the second half and both sides in the end will probably be satisfied with a point, especially the visitors.

Shizuoka Sangyo University Iwata Bonita  3 - 0  Je Vrille Kagoshima
(Attendance: 207)

Shizuoka Sangyo saw off the feeble challenge of Je Vrille Kagoshima, though it took some time for them to get up and running. Nishiyama Mei was impressive last year and scored the opener today, with further goals from Ishida and schoolgirl Shirai Aoi in the final few minutes putting gloss on the scoreline. Kagoshima have a lot of work to do if they are to be competitive this season.

Nittaidai Football Club Ladies  2 - 1  Shimizu Daihachi Pleiades
(Attendance: 83)

Nittaidai just about saw off Pleiades at home today, with goals from Nagashima and Yamaguchi, who was impressive in her few games last season. Pleiades had gotten off to a good start with an early goal from midfielder Hamanaka Saki but had very few chances thereafter and the students came back strongly to begin their campaign well.

Tokiwagi Gakuen High School  3 - 2  AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies
(Attendance: 70)

In dreadful weather conditions Tokiwagi Gakuen overcame the improved Nagano but needed an injury time penalty kick to pull off the win. Ito Miki scored the first goal of the day on 23 minutes and fourteen minutes later local girl Sasaki Miwa made it 2-0 to the home side. The visitors fought back valiantly and Hashiura and Uchiyama, scorers of eight goals between them last season, brought Nagano level just a minute before the finish. They looked to have done enough to take home a point but new goalkeeper Unoki Mao fouled a Tokiwagi player and from the spot Shiraki Akari made no mistake. The schoolgirls are off to another good start while Nagano will have been bitterly disappointed not to at least get a draw.

Sfida Setagaya FC  8 - 2  Cerezo Osaka Sakai Ladies
(Attendance: 1,682)

The young schoolgirls of Cerezo Osaka Sakai Ladies started well in their first league game, with Takarada Saori scoring on 11 minutes, but they were unable to stop Setagaya from ultimately tearing them apart. Tanaka Marina equalised, heading in a corner, before new signing Shimojo scored to give them the lead. Mori Hitomi scored three, JSC graduate Shano scored a brace having come on after an hour and Oshima Sayuri got on the scoresheet with a late left-footed drive. Cerezo's only response came from Narisako Misaki who scored direct from a free kick.

Setagaya look strong this season and are pushing for promotion - and had an excellent attendance, while Cerezo will surely get better over the course of the year.

Ehime FC Ladies  4 - 0  Bunnys Kyoto SC
(Attendance: 620)

In a repeat of last year's scoreline, Ehime were too much for Bunnys and although the visitors have made several notable signings they were once again unable to stop the goals flying in. Akune Mana opened the scoring before Iwamoto Yuka scored twice - equaling her total from 21 games last season. Star player Nakada Maiko came on just after the hour and proceeded to score the final goal just before the end with a diving header. Ehime look good for a top half finish, Bunnys must work harder.

Fukuoka J. Anclas  5 - 1  Hoyo Sukarabu FC
(Attendance: 620)

Visiting Hoyo Sukarabu were no match for Anclas, for whom Kawamura Mari scored the opening goal. Hanada, Hirata (2) and Shibuya also scored for the home side with Suzu Arisa scoring Hoyo's sole reply. It was announced after the game that Kawamura would be joining JEF United Ichihara Chiba Ladies and the loss of such a talented player will be a blow to Anclas as they will surely face stronger opposition. Hoyo will have enjoyed the experience of their first league game, though it looks like it will be a significant challenge for them to remain in the league at the end of the season.

Nadeshiko League Third Round

INAC Kobe Leonessa  3 - 0  Speranza FC Osaka Takatsuki
(Attendance: 2,503)

With the roof closed due to bad weather, table topping INAC Kobe made no changes to their lineup for the visit of bottom side Speranza FC Osaka Takatsuki, who brought in young Hazuki Yuki for the injured Kanjana Sung-Ngoen. Hazuki had scored last weekend to briefly level things up against NTV Beleza, only for the Takatsuki side to concede two late goals.

On five minutes Tanaka Yoko had the first shot on goal which was comfortably saved by Ono, and it is fair to say that in the opening fifteen minutes there was very little in the way of exciting goal chances. Goebel-Yanez charged down an Ono clearance in the 17th minute but the ricochet was unkind for the INAC forwards and the chance was lost. Over the next ten minutes the home side increased the tempo and created more chances for themselves though their finishing was quite poor by their own high standards and for the most part the Takatsuki defence kept their shape. At the other end Hazuki had their first shot on target though she didn't catch it well and it was no problem for Kaihori.

On 39 minutes the the breakthrough finally came for the champions as Tanaka Asuna headed in a Ji free kick from close range. While Ono was hardly to blame for the first goal, she gifted the second to INAC just before the half-time whistle when another free kick, this time from the right was knocked in and what looked an easily-saveable header from Minamiyama Chiaki was palmed weakly into the net to gve INAC Kobe what already looked to be an unassailable lead entering the second half.

Minamiyama should have had another just after the restart when she couldn't quite connect with a ball across the face of goal from Tanaka Yoko. Shortly after, following a foul on Kawasumi, INAC once again scored from a free kick, this time Sawa Homare headed in, while Ono will again feel she could have done better.

Tsuboi hit the crossbar for Takatsuki in the 75th minute which was the closest her side came to scoring. Hazuki had impressed with her energy and enthusiasm and for INAC Kobe Goebel-Yanez impressed with her skills on the ball, and hit the post with a good shot just before the end of the game.

A facile win for INAC Kobe then, and they moved three points clear ahead of the games on Sunday. Takatasuki remain rooted to the bottom without a single point and will need impressive performances all over the park and the return of their two injured Thai players if they are to remain in the top division next season.

(Attendance: 833)

Okayama Yunogo Belle  2 - 1  Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies
(Attendance: 2,024)

Belle were relieved to have their first win of the season, as Urawa slipped to their second consecutive defeat. Nakano Manami scored her first of the season to give the hosts the lead at half-time. Urawa fought back and with eight minutes remaining Kira Chinatsu equalised. Belle weren't satisfied with a point though, and in additional time Yokoyama Kumi scored the winning goal, with Miyama Aya assisting twice for Belle.

(Attendance: 2,011)

Vegalta Sendai overcame Iga in heavy rain in their first home game in the Nadeshiko League. Sendai took the lead through Takara Ryoko, coming in from the left side and scoring a surprising goal.

FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme  1 - 2  JEF United Ichihara Chiba Ladies
(Attendance: 288)

A late goal by Ogawa Shiho for JEF United broke Kibi's hearts as they looked to claim another precious point. A mistake by Yamane Erina in the JEF goal gave Takahashi Chiho the easiest of chances to put Kibi 1-0 up after twelve minutes. Fukusawa Risa equalised on 57 minutes and her pass to Ogawa saw her shoot expertly into the corner, as the visitors continue their impressive start to the season.

(Attendance: 1,479)

The students of FC Kibikokusaidaigaku were suitably delighted to score their first goal and pick up their first point in their first Nadeshiko League campaign. Vegalta Sendai were making their second trip to Okayama in succession and were hopeful of returning with all three points. Yamamoto Marin gave the home side a dream start, scoring following a scramble caused by Nishikawa's thundering shot against the crossbar. In the second half Ito Minako scored a sensational goal to take a point back to Miyagi.

Albirex Niigata Ladies  1 - 6  INAC Kobe Leonessa
(Attendance: 1,260)

Niigata made one change for the visit of INAC Kobe, with Yamazaki Marumi starting in place of Kodama Keiko while the visitors made two changes. Tanaka Yoko and Isokane Midori came in for Takase Megumi and Kai Junko. The weather in Niigata was cold and rainy making for miserable conditions for players and supporters alike.

After just two minutes Kamionobe had a tremendous chance to score for Niigata, having powered her way through the INAC defence, but her shot was poor and it went wide off the right hand post. The home side continued to have the best of the opening exchanges and Oishi Sayaka had a difficult chance which went wide. On nine minutes Niigata had the ball in the net but it was ruled offside. All of the early signs were that Niigata had the ability to beat INAC if they maintained their good start.

INAC Kobe had their first chance on 14 minutes when Ji So Yun hit the crossbar with a free kick from just outside the area, but so far the visitors were well below their usual standard.

In the twenty-fourth minute following a lull, Niigata once again pushed forward and from a lay-off by Oishi, Yamazaki Marumi scored a tremendous goal, finding the top right hand corner from outside the box, and it was no more than the home side deserved for their efforts.

INAC started to play better following this stinging goal and when Kawasumi found Goebel-Yanez in the box she swivelled and powerfully struck into the net past Ichitani to level things up on 32 minutes. That was only INAC's second shot in the game and they were somewhat fortunate to be on level terms. Another similar run down the right by Kawasumi a few minutes later also resulted in a chance for Goebel-Yanez, and most of INAC's good work was being done by this pair. INAC Kobe finished the half much stronger than they had initially and had exerted some sustained pressure on the Niigata defence, though both sides will have gone in to the break feeling that they could go on to win in the second half.

INAC took the lead in the opening minutes of the second half as Ji found Kawasumi on the right side of the area following a mistake by Oishi and the captain had no trouble sidefooting into the far side of the net to give the champions the lead. It only took another five minutes for INAC to have a third. This time it was Minamiyama and again it was from the right side that the danger came. Goebel-Yanez did very well to gain control of the ball in the box under pressure and her pass back to Minamiyama was finished off expertly. All of the early pressure that Niigata had been able to exert had more or less evaporated.

A pentrating run by Tanaka Yoko into the box following a short pass from Ji saw the young player bundled over and she herself stepped up to take the penalty which she calmly slotted into the side of the net. That game with just under half an hour to go and having started so well, Niigata were now looking a well-beaten team.

Minamiyama scored again on 68 minutes to make it 5-1 after she had put pressure on Sakaguchi and Goebel-Yanez was there to play the one-two with Minamiyama and having only scored once all last season, she now had two in one game.

Thereafter INAC Kobe were very comfortable, with their main problem being at the back, where Isokane was very unsure and was dispossessed easily more than once. Just as time was running out, substitute Michigami Ayaka scored her first goal in the Nadeshiko League having scored 30 last year in the Challenge League.

NTV Beleza  2 - 0  FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme
(Attendance: 865)

Beleza got their challenge off to a solid start against newly promoted FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme in western Tokyo today, with many young players making an impression. For Kibi Hamamoto Marin started having just enrolled from Osaka Toin High School and Imanishi Azusa made her first start since the team's visit to Sendai last summer.

Beleza were more comfortable on the ball, with Shimizu impressing at right back and Hara Natsuko made some encouraging forward runs. Tanaka Mina was the most dangerous of the Beleza players and it was her attacking run into the box in the 37th minute which led to the first goal, with her pass inside finding Kiryu who easily scored. Prior to that, Kibi had had the best chance to score when Sugita found herself in space following a fine glancing header from Takahashi Chiho, but the shot was scuffed wide.

Nakasato Yu was introduced in place of Hara at the start of the second half and she scored to end the game as a contest very soon after coming on. Momiki Yuka had made a good attacking move down the left and her shot was followed by some confusion in the defence, and Nakasato didn't need to be asked twice in finishing off.

Kibi grew in confidence in the second half and were able to play somewhat better and were not too disheartened at the end of the game, and expressed hope that they can compete with the other sides in the league in the coming fixtures.

The cherry blossoms were in bloom in western Tokyo for the opening day of the new season

Sugita had the first chance of the game but scuffed her shot wide

The Charme players are relieved to see Tanaka Mina's shot fly over the bar

Kiryu Nanase was a constant threat and scored the opening goal on 37 minutes

Imanishi Azusa was injured in the first half but was able to complete the game safely

Nakasato Yu made an immediate impact upon coming on, scoring the decisive second goal

The experienced Iwashimizu (#22) and Sudo (#4) dealt with the threat of Takahashi very well

Tanaka Mina was a thorn in Kibi's side all afternoon

Kibi captain Sugita Ami looks to break through the Beleza defence

Momiki Yuka was very lively, here she looks to shoot with Takeda defending

Noma Fumika (#9) came on as a substitute in the second half for Kibi

INAC Kobe Leonessa  2 - 1  JEF United Ichihara Chiba Ladies
(Attendance: 4,012)

INAC Kobe began their defence of the title with a 2-1 win over JEF United who gave them a scare in the Empress' Cup final, the most recent competitive game these sides had played. Two penalties by Beverly Goebel-Yanez in either half were answered by a single late goal from Fukusawa Risa just before the end. The teams below INAC Kobe are catching up, but not enough yet to challenge them.

Okayama Yunogo Belle  0 - 1  Vegalta Sendai Ladies
(Attendance: 2,888)

Last year's Challenge League champions got their campaign off to the best possible start with a win in Mimasaka over Belle who will be most disappointed with their start. Newcomers on either side were Fushiki Kaho for Belle and Takara Ryoka for Sendai. The only goal of the game came midway through the first half when Amano found Sameshima on the left, who then found Ito on the left wing. Her ball into the box across the face of goal was dummied by Ono and Kakazu was there to sidefoot home past Fukumoto. Belle attacked vigourously, with the lively Matsuoka Miki coming close with two headers.

Vegalta Sendai travel to Okayama again next weekend to play FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme, whom they beat in Takahashi 3-0 last season, while Belle go to Iga where they won 5-0 on the opening weeknd of last season.

Albirex Niigata Ladies  0 - 0  Iga FC Kunoichi
(Attendance: 1,141)

Niigata introduced Musashigaoka graduate Sakaguchi Moeno into their starting lineup for the visit of Iga on the opening weekend, with the visitors beginning the season with veterans of many campaigns. The game ended scoreless with neither side looking particularly impressive, with Iga especially toothless in attack. A point for them will be welcomed as the bottom of the table may be tight come the end of the season. For Niigata to remain a top five side improvement will be needed though, with a visit from INAC Kobe next weekend a daunting proposition. Iga are at home to Belle who will be intent on nothing less than victory.
