Fukuoka J. Anclas 3 - 0 Tokiwagi Gakuen High School
(Attendance: 312)
Tokiwagi Gakuen lost their 100% winning record in Kyushu today as Fukuoka confirmed their title credentials with an excellent 3-0 win. Tagashira Yoko scored the first two either side of half time, with Fujimoto Yuki scoring in additional time. For Tokiwagi there was the extraordinarily rare sight of a sending off - Hirata Miki receiving a red card for fouling Hirata Hikari with six minutes remaining. Next weekend sees the first highly-anticipated clash between Setagaya and Fukuoka which will go a long way to determining who is in the running for promotion at the end of the season.

Nadeshiko League Eighth Round
JEF United Ichihara Chiba Ladies 0 - 2 Iga FC Kunoichi
(Attendance: 269)
JEF United's good start to the season has faltered and with their latest defeat by Iga have now not won in five games. In contrast, the Kunoichi have now won three in succession and find themselves in fourth position.
Two goals a few minutes either side of half-time decided the contest, Kiyohara and Nasu both scoring their first of the season, and with JEF United making no impression on the visitors' goal, Sawada Norimi had a relatively comfortable time in goal.
Iga now look to consolidate their good position heading into the summer. A win over Urawa will see them jump to at least third, with second a less likely outcome. JEF United host Niigata who are now one point ahead of them in sixth.

Kado Yuka and Arimachi Saori made it 4-1 with seven minutes remaining. Direct from the kickoff following the fourth goal a nasty clash of heads between Nishikawa and Kado left both hospitalised. Takahashi Chiho scored a consolation goal just on the final whistle.

INAC Kobe Leonessa 4 - 2 NTV Beleza
(Attendance: 6,401)
Beverly Goebel-Yanez returned to the starting lineup for INAC Kobe as they faced nearest rivals Beleza in Kobe today. For Beleza Sakaguchi Mizuho made her first start of the season and Doko Mayo also returned following a one game absence.
It was Goebel-Yanez who scored the first of the afternoon, heading home Kawasumi's cross powerfully, to give her eight goals for the season.
The score remained at 1-0 to the home side until the final twelve minutes, in which five more goals were scored. Takase Megumi headed home a Ji free kick for INAC's second, but Tanaka Mina scored sensational form in taking the ball from midfield and scoring with an unstoppable shot from outside the area.
Ji So Yun scored one herself just a minute later to restore the two goal lead, with some marvellous footwork down the left wing, cutting inside and scoring past Soyama.
Tanaka Mina still wasn't giving up and straight from the kickoff she scored another fine goal to give Beleza hope of an equaliser with under eight minutes remaining. Although they kept pushing for an equaliser, it was INAC who had the last say. Nakajima found Kawasumi down the right wing and her ball across the box found Tanaka Yoko who couldn't miss.
Beleza next host Vegalta Sendai in Akita with the winners going into the summer in second place. INAC Kobe visit FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme fully expecting a comfortable win to give them a 100% record with half the season played.

The score remained at 1-0 to the home side until the final twelve minutes, in which five more goals were scored. Takase Megumi headed home a Ji free kick for INAC's second, but Tanaka Mina scored sensational form in taking the ball from midfield and scoring with an unstoppable shot from outside the area.
Ji So Yun scored one herself just a minute later to restore the two goal lead, with some marvellous footwork down the left wing, cutting inside and scoring past Soyama.
Tanaka Mina still wasn't giving up and straight from the kickoff she scored another fine goal to give Beleza hope of an equaliser with under eight minutes remaining. Although they kept pushing for an equaliser, it was INAC who had the last say. Nakajima found Kawasumi down the right wing and her ball across the box found Tanaka Yoko who couldn't miss.
Beleza next host Vegalta Sendai in Akita with the winners going into the summer in second place. INAC Kobe visit FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme fully expecting a comfortable win to give them a 100% record with half the season played.

Challenge League Fifth Round
Nojima Stella Kanagawa 4 - 0 Japan Soccer College Ladies
(Attendance: 384)
Nojima Stella moved to the top of the table overnight as they overcame the JSC Ladies in Sagamihara today. Nanjo Masayo started in goal for the first time for the home side and the JSC introduced young Miyazaki Serina to their starting lineup.
Two first half goals by Kanai Nanae were added to in the second half by Yoshimi Natsuki, with her second coming from the spot. Both players have now scored four this season. Toriumi and Nakashima were lively up front for the JSC but couldn't repeat their heroics from last week. They next host the struggling Kagoshima, while Nojima have a home derby against Nittaidai to look forward to.

Shimizu Daihachi Pleiades 2 - 2 Je Vrille Kagoshima
(Attendance: 158)
An entertaining match saw both sides earn their first point of the season. Pleiades had taken the lead early, Hamanaka Saki heading in Miura's free kick. Seven minutes later Imanaka scored direct from a free kick to give Kagoshima their first goal of the season and with eighteen minutes remaining her corner kick was headed in by Oh Yu Sun to give the visitors a surprising lead. However, with just six minutes remaining Miura Kyoko, recently transferred from Bunnys, headed in the equaliser to give either side a share of the points. Neither side will be happy with just a single point, with the sides above them looking stronger.
Pleiades host neighbours Shizuoka next Sunday hoping to pick up a point, while Kagoshima travel to Niigata for a match against the JSC Ladies to whom their top scorer of last year, Nakashima Ayaka, transferred this season.

Sfida Setagaya FC 0 - 1 Tokiwagi Gakuen High School
(Attendance: 632)
Tokiwagi Gakuen came away with all three points to leave the home side shocked as they suffered their first loss of the season. With the race for promotion set to be very tight, it was a defeat Setagaya could ill afford. Tomiyama had been brought into the Setagaya side and along with Oshima, Mori and Shimojo, peppered the Tokiwagi goal with shots but to no avail, former Setagaya youth player Fukumura excelling on her return to goal for the schoolgirls. The goal came in the 64th minute, Shiraki Akari again scoring down the middle following a through pass from Sugihara Haruna.
Tokiwagi Gakuen are now the only side in the Challenge League with a 100% record and having been below par last season, look to once again challenge for the title. They next travel to distant Fukuoka on Saturday, while Setagaya will expect a comfortable victory away to bottom of the table Hoyo Sukarabu.

Hoyo Sukarabu FC 0 - 1 AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies
(Attendance: 115)
A vital away win for Nagano and a first clean sheet for Jessica Klauzenberg will have pleased ambitious manager Honda Midori, as her side move onto six points and away from those stuggling at the bottom. Urasaki Yuka was extremely lively and last year's top scorer scored her first of the season in the 72nd minute, assisted by Hashiura Satsuki. Nagano have now won twice in succession and will be confident of beating Bunnys Kyoto next Sunday. Hoyo Sukarabu have a very difficult assignment at home to Sfida Setagaya.

Cerezo Osaka Sakai Ladies 0 - 1 Bunnys Kyoto SC
(Attendance: 460)
Cerezo Osaka Sakai Ladies once again struggled with stamina as they fell behind to a late Kushige Aoi goal which sees both teams side-by-side on three points from five games. Nishida Meika was the most productive up front for Cerezo, but Bunnys had far more of the play and the midfield trio of Kameoka, Kushige and Sawada have quite a number of scoring chances between them.
Bunnys look to continue their momentum against Nagano, while Cerezo host Ehime who still harbour hopes of promotion this season.

Fukuoka J. Anclas 1 - 1 Ehime FC Ladies
(Attendance: 679)
Hirata Hikari continues to impress for Anclas as she gave them the lead in the 57th minute as her side looked to continue their outstanding start to the season. Visiting Ehime were without Nakada Maiko but managed to draw level with eleven minutes remaining through very lively defender Kushiyama Saki.
Ehime must continue to pick up points if their goal of promotion is to be realised, and they should be confident of a win over Cerezo next Sunday. Tokiwagi Gakuen are the visitors to Fukuoka and should be a very stern test for the home side.

AS Elfen Sayama FC 3 - 1 Shizuoka Sangyo University Iwata Bonita
(Attendance: 624)
Shizuoka Sangyo will regret not coming away with three points from this encounter, after Sayama goalkeeper Yamago Nozomi was sent off in the 22nd minute. The penalty kick resulting from her foul was saved by replacement Kobayashi Maiko - Ishida the culprit for Shizuoka - and within a few minutes Arakawa Eriko had headed the home side into the lead at the other end. Shizuoka couldn't really get going and with two further goals from Uchida and Azami in the second half, Sayama had a relatively comfortable victory. Oda Kanna, Shizuoka's top scorer last season, finally got off the mark this season with a late consolation.
Next Sunday Sayama will face an interesting encounter against a full-strength JFA Academy side while Shizuoka are away to Shimizu in the big derby match.
AS Elfen Sayama FC:

Pleiades host neighbours Shizuoka next Sunday hoping to pick up a point, while Kagoshima travel to Niigata for a match against the JSC Ladies to whom their top scorer of last year, Nakashima Ayaka, transferred this season.

Sfida Setagaya FC 0 - 1 Tokiwagi Gakuen High School
(Attendance: 632)
Tokiwagi Gakuen came away with all three points to leave the home side shocked as they suffered their first loss of the season. With the race for promotion set to be very tight, it was a defeat Setagaya could ill afford. Tomiyama had been brought into the Setagaya side and along with Oshima, Mori and Shimojo, peppered the Tokiwagi goal with shots but to no avail, former Setagaya youth player Fukumura excelling on her return to goal for the schoolgirls. The goal came in the 64th minute, Shiraki Akari again scoring down the middle following a through pass from Sugihara Haruna.
Tokiwagi Gakuen are now the only side in the Challenge League with a 100% record and having been below par last season, look to once again challenge for the title. They next travel to distant Fukuoka on Saturday, while Setagaya will expect a comfortable victory away to bottom of the table Hoyo Sukarabu.

Hoyo Sukarabu FC 0 - 1 AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies
(Attendance: 115)
A vital away win for Nagano and a first clean sheet for Jessica Klauzenberg will have pleased ambitious manager Honda Midori, as her side move onto six points and away from those stuggling at the bottom. Urasaki Yuka was extremely lively and last year's top scorer scored her first of the season in the 72nd minute, assisted by Hashiura Satsuki. Nagano have now won twice in succession and will be confident of beating Bunnys Kyoto next Sunday. Hoyo Sukarabu have a very difficult assignment at home to Sfida Setagaya.

Cerezo Osaka Sakai Ladies 0 - 1 Bunnys Kyoto SC
(Attendance: 460)
Cerezo Osaka Sakai Ladies once again struggled with stamina as they fell behind to a late Kushige Aoi goal which sees both teams side-by-side on three points from five games. Nishida Meika was the most productive up front for Cerezo, but Bunnys had far more of the play and the midfield trio of Kameoka, Kushige and Sawada have quite a number of scoring chances between them.
Bunnys look to continue their momentum against Nagano, while Cerezo host Ehime who still harbour hopes of promotion this season.

Fukuoka J. Anclas 1 - 1 Ehime FC Ladies
(Attendance: 679)
Hirata Hikari continues to impress for Anclas as she gave them the lead in the 57th minute as her side looked to continue their outstanding start to the season. Visiting Ehime were without Nakada Maiko but managed to draw level with eleven minutes remaining through very lively defender Kushiyama Saki.
Ehime must continue to pick up points if their goal of promotion is to be realised, and they should be confident of a win over Cerezo next Sunday. Tokiwagi Gakuen are the visitors to Fukuoka and should be a very stern test for the home side.

AS Elfen Sayama FC 3 - 1 Shizuoka Sangyo University Iwata Bonita
(Attendance: 624)
Shizuoka Sangyo will regret not coming away with three points from this encounter, after Sayama goalkeeper Yamago Nozomi was sent off in the 22nd minute. The penalty kick resulting from her foul was saved by replacement Kobayashi Maiko - Ishida the culprit for Shizuoka - and within a few minutes Arakawa Eriko had headed the home side into the lead at the other end. Shizuoka couldn't really get going and with two further goals from Uchida and Azami in the second half, Sayama had a relatively comfortable victory. Oda Kanna, Shizuoka's top scorer last season, finally got off the mark this season with a late consolation.
Next Sunday Sayama will face an interesting encounter against a full-strength JFA Academy side while Shizuoka are away to Shimizu in the big derby match.

Nadeshiko League Seventh Round
Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies 0 - 3 INAC Kobe Leonessa
(Attendance: 6,875)
Urawa Reds hosted champions INAC Kobe desperately trying to put a halt to their losing streak, which stood at five games coming into this match. As always INAC Kobe were expected to win, and for this match they again started with Michigami up front, with Goebel-Yanez not appearing. Michigami had the first chance but headed wide from Nakajima's cross in the fifth minute as INAC looked to get the early goal. The new recruit from Tokiwagi was in a determined mood as she struck again in the ninth minute but Ikeda was equal to it.
In the 24th minute Urawa had their first shot on goal, Dozono's rasping effort was relatively comfortable for Kaihori to deal with, as the vociferous home crowd got behind their team. The home side had weathered the INAC storm to an extent but at the same time weren't looking likely to win the game, and their defence looked insecure.
The first half ended scoreless, and there wasn't too much for either side's supporters to shout about. Neither side made a change at half-time and the pattern of the first half was re-established in the second.
In the 59th minute, following some good attacking play from Urawa, a good move at the other end saw Tanaka Yoko break loose into the box and when Kishikawa fouled her the referee had no hesitation in pointing to the spot, with Kishikawa sent off as the last defender. Kawasumi Nahomi stepped up to score her fourth goal of the season to firmly put the champions in the driving seat.
Tanaka Yoko again found herself free in the area in the 68th minute but her ball back to Ji was blasted over. Urawa now has the obvious problem of not having the ability to go forward in numbers as they knew only too well that INAC Kobe's forwards are second to none.
Michigami, who hadn't made much of an impression after the first few minutes, was replaced in the 75th minute by Takase Megumi, playing for the first time since the first weekend. A volley from Kawasumi went just wide of the left post with twelve minutes remaining as the visitors looked to kill the game off.
Kira and Kurishima Akari came on with seven minutes to go to try to get something going up front. INAC Kobe were still looking for a second at the other end and although Urawa were getting the ball forward their shots were generally no problem for Kaihori or the INAC defenders. Following a good Urawa break, Kawasumi scored her second off a pass from Ji and with just a few seconds remaining of the ninety the result had been decided. In the dying seconds Takase threw herself at a Kawasumi cross to make it 3-0 for her first goal of the season.
INAC march on in their quest for a third straight title, Urawa Reds need to start picking up points very soon if they are not to find themselves in a wholly unexpected relegation battle.

Iga FC Kunoichi 4 - 0 FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme
(Attendance: 1,013)
FC Kibikoku suffered the worst defeat in their league history as they fell to a four goal defeat. Iga followed up their win over Beleza last week with a fine display of attacking play. The speedy Sonomura Nana scored her second of the season in the 37th minute and with two goals by Tsutsumi just before and after half-time they were well set for the three points. A late goal from substitute Sakumoto Fumika put added gloss on the final scoreline.

Challenge League Fourth Round
Bunnys Kyoto SC 1 - 3 Fukuoka J. Anclas
(Attendance: 150)
Bunnys remain pointless after four games while at the other end of the table Fukuoka move onto twelve as their bid for a return to the top division continues without a stutter. An early own goal for Anclas was equalised just before half-time by Yoshino Yuka. Bunnys couldn't hang on though, and two late goals from Shibuya and Hirata - the third this season for both - gave the visitors all three points. They now play three far more accomplished sides in Ehime, Tokiwagi Gakuen and Setagaya and will be fully tested. Bunnys look forward to taking on Cerezo Osaka, Nagano and Hoyo.

Shizuoka Sangyo University Iwata Bonita 3 - 0 Nittaidai Football Club Ladies
(Attendance: 179)
Ogata Yurika and newcomer Shimamura Kumiko both scored their first goals of the season and with Ishida scoring her second, Shizuoka Sangyo easily saw off the challenge of the struggling Nittaidai to move onto ten points after four games, just as they did last season. The home side's next challenge is against AS Elfen Sayama and this should be a sterner test. Nittaidai have not yet got going this season and the experiment of playing Oguri up front hasn't worked as well as might have been expected. They next play on the twelfth of May, with a break next week.

(Attendance: 242)
Kagoshima have made the most appalling start to the season and were no match for Sayama who scored at will. The visitors' highlight was a four goal haul for Arakawa Eriko. To have any hope of survival this season, Kagoshima need to win their next game against Pleiades who likewise have no points yet. Sayama want promotion this season and will look to defeat Shizuoka Sangyo next weekend, who currently sit one place above them in fourth.

(Attendance: 300)
An exciting game in Ehime gave further evidence of Setagaya's title credentials as they beat the previously unbeaten Ehime FC Ladies.

Bunnys remain pointless after four games while at the other end of the table Fukuoka move onto twelve as their bid for a return to the top division continues without a stutter. An early own goal for Anclas was equalised just before half-time by Yoshino Yuka. Bunnys couldn't hang on though, and two late goals from Shibuya and Hirata - the third this season for both - gave the visitors all three points. They now play three far more accomplished sides in Ehime, Tokiwagi Gakuen and Setagaya and will be fully tested. Bunnys look forward to taking on Cerezo Osaka, Nagano and Hoyo.
