Nadeshiko League Exciting Series First Round

Upper Section

Okayama Yunogo Belle  3 - 1  JEF United Ichihara Chiba Ladies
(Attendance: 2, 487)

The opening weekend of the Exciting Series saw top take on bottom, but with only five points between them, a victory for JEF United would see them close the gap to a bare two points.

JEF United got off to a great start despite their lack of chances in front of goal, taking a 1-0 lead into half-time. Working the ball down the right Anzai found Ikadai who crossed from that side invitingly for Kawamura Mari to finish smartly past Fukumoto.

Belle came out for the second half in a determined mood, and following intense pressure on the JEF goal were level, Matsuoka heading home an Asano cross, like the visitors' goal coming from the right side.

The winning goals then took some time in coming, in both cases coming from free kicks. The first came from deep, Fukumoto knocking the ball long and when Matsuoka headed on Arimachi lobbed the outrushing Yamane to score. That goal came with ten minutes remaining and with time running out Belle had the insurance goal. This time it was Miyama supplying, Kado Yuka knocking the ball home after Yamane had once again missed the ball.

Albirex Niigata Ladies  1 - 1  Nippon TV Beleza
(Attendance: 770)

Niigata have shown great improvement this season to finish fourth and they came out determined to challenge for the title, even if they are one of the outsiders. They took the lead at home against Beleza after fourteen minutes, tall defender Kitahara Kana bundling the ball over after Beleza goalkeeper Soyama Kanako inexplicably allowed the ball through her hands. Beleza equalised just before half-time, their top scorer this year Sakaguchi Mizuho heading in powerfully from a Shimizu cross.

Beleza were disappointed with their collapse in their final game which deprived them of top spot, and they will have been similarly unhappy with their Exciting Series debut. They next play Urawa at home in what promises to be an entertaining match. Niigata travel to Okayama to play leaders Belle.

Urawa Red Diamonds Ladies  2 - 2  INAC Kobe Leonessa
(Attendance: 2,210)

Two weeks after INAC Kobe came to Urawa and prevented their winning the Regular Series, the champions were back in Saitama for these sides' opening match of the Exciting Series.

In the opening stages INAC had more of the attacking opportunities, though few were clearcut. Urawa have lost their cutting edge recently and came into this game without a goal in four matches. However, in the All-Star game both Kira and Goto scored and they will have regained confidence going into this important opening game.

With twenty minutes played INAC were generally in control of the game, even if Hirao in the Urawa goal had not been unduly troubled, and the home side were struggling to find even half-chances at shooting.

Polkinghorne had two chances for INAC Kobe, both headers from set plays and though she missed with both (the first was offside) Urawa looked defensively suspect from dead-ball situations.

Urawa's free scoring in some games was largely due to the opposition playing a high line, but INAC were having none of that and made Urawa work very hard in tight areas to make openings, and after thirty minutes they finally started making inroads, and after a few good chances took the lead. Kira did very well at the goal line, beating Polkinghorne and Isokane, putting the ball across the face of goal at pace, and when it came out to Kato off Kaihori, she made no mistake and Urawa had the lead.

INAC tried to get back into the game in the minutes before half-time, but looked like a team that has the individuals required but not the cohesion. Polkinghorne, making her last appearance, was replaced at half-time by Watanabe Ayaka as INAC tried to fix the problems they were having at left back.

A few minutes into the second half Masuya dribbled well and got a shot off, but this highlighted one of INAC's problems: there were no supporting players up with her and her speculative effort was no danger to Hirao Chika - her former team mate at the JFA Academy Fukushima. INAC eventually started to link up well in midfield, spreading the play wider and their persistence paid off when Takase pulled a goal back on sixty-three minutes after she was sent clear by Nakada, with Usui well beaten for pace.

With Urawa again stifled in attack, INAC Kobe brought on speedy forward Ito Miki in place of Masuya Rika. Urawa's attacking intent had dissipated significantly since half-time, with recent insecurities leading to increased caution.

Usui Rie was injured in a collision with Ito, and was replaced by Wada Naoko after 78 minutes. Entering the final stages Urawa were hanging on as best they could, the flow of the play in the second half a complete reverse to that of the first.

Urawa did begin to create chances again, and the exhausted Kira came off for Seike Kiko with eight minutes remaining, as confidence began to be seen in the home side's ranks. Kato Chika likewise came off as the game entered additional time, with INAC's players becoming more frustrated with themselves.

With just seconds of additional time remaining, Kishikawa handled in the area to give away a penalty kick and Takase scored with almost the last kick of the game to win a point for INAC Kobe.

Lower Section

AS Elfen Saitama  2 - 1  Iga FC Kunoichi
(Attendance: 375)

Having beaten Saitama twice, with 4-0 and 4-1 scorelines, Iga would have felt confident of beating their relegation rivals in this opening Lower Section fixture. With their Australian players returning home, Kobayashi Misaki came into their defence.

Iga got off to a good start, and dominated the goal-scoring chances. They took the lead through Miyasako Tamami, who intercepted the ball on the half-way line and then danced through the defence to score a very fine goal.

The visitors lead at half-time, but six minutes after the restart veteran Ito Kanako equalised when she followed up a poor defensive header in the box. Iga continued to create most of the chances but repeatedly came up short.

In the final seconds of additional time came the decisive goal, not just in this game but possibly in both teams' seasons. Takeyama crossed into the box from the left and another poor defensive header presented Azami with the opportunity to score, and she made no mistake.

This win puts Saitama four points ahead of Iga, and gives the home side a huge advantage leading into the final games. Iga must try to recover against Vegalta Sendai next weekend, though their recent play suggests difficulties. Saitama will again expect to beat Kibi at home on Sunday, another step towards safety.

AS Elfen Saitama:
Yamago Nozomi (capt), Akitaya Misato, Takeda Arisa, Takahashi Yuko, Takeyama Yuko, Hagiwara Aimi, Ito Kanako, Nara Misaki, Azami Rie, Arakawa Eriko, Suzuki Kaoruko

FC Kibikokusaidaigaku Charme  0 - 4  Vegalta Sendai Ladies
(Attendance: 524)

Vegalta Sendai were naturally upset at not having made the top six for the Exciting Series, but got off to a perfect start in the Lower Section as they again easily beat Kibi away 4-0. Kakazu Asuka opened the scoring on seven minutes, Kibi again unable to keep a tight defence, with Yoshitake in particular suffering in central defence.

Vegalta scored their second on 58 minutes, local player Ono Hitomi scoring her fourth of the season before they added two more in the closing minutes through Hamada Haruka who is showing promise up front, and through Kawamura Yuri, who has thus far thoroughly enjoyed her first season in Miyagi.

Vegalta are at home next week when they take on Iga, with Kibi away to Saitama.

Challenge League Fifteenth Round

Speranza FC Osaka Takatsuki  6 - 2  Tokiwagi Gakuen High School
(Attendance: 552)

This game was played on August 30th

Honda Saki came in for her first start this season as Takatsuki look to overcome Tokiwagi Gakuen, who this year are considerably less impressive than they were in winning the title in 2013. The visitors brought six regular members back into their side following the Inter-Highschool Championships.

Takatsuki took the lead on 32 minutes, a penalty kick scored by Hazuki Yuki, though this was equalised by third-year forward Sugihara Haruna on the hour mark. Though the game had been relatively quiet until this point, six goals were to follow in the final thirty minutes.

Maruyama Karina scored to restore the lead within two minutes, and just a minute later Saito Toshiko added a third. Seven minutes later she scored again, her ninth of the season. Hazuki also scored a second for herself, with Shimamura adding the sixth Takatsuki goal three minutes from full-time. Sugihara's fifth goal of the season at the death was little consolation for Tokiwagi Gakuen, who cannot now retain their title.

Takatsuki next play top-of-the-table Nittaidai in buoyant mood, with Tokiwagi Gakuen next in action on the 14th away to Harima.

Speranza FC Osaka Takatsuki:

Ange Violet Hiroshima  0 - 0  AS Harima Albion
(Attendance: 606)

This game was played on July 20th 

The first meeting between these sides late last year saw an exciting battle for promotion to the Challenge League. Both sides are doing well this year, though today's game failed to provide the same kind of excitement as neither side could make the breakthrough. A good crowd of over six hundred was in attendance as Ange Violet continue to lead the way in average attendance figures in the Challenge League.

AS Harima Albion stay fourth, seven points off the top, with Ange Violet eighth, four points ahead of champions Tokiwagi Gakuen. Harima next play Shizuoka Sangyo on the 27th; Ange Violet don't play again until August 30th, against Bunnys Kyoto.

Nittaidai Football Club Ladies  5 - 0  Japan Soccer College Ladies
(Attendance: 126)

After a disappointing first half in which there were very few chances for both sides, Nittaidai manager Yano Seinosuke introduced Maeda Risa and Uemura Shoko and within a minute of the restart the latter had scored, her eleventh of the season. Uemura scored the final of Nittaidai's five second-half goals, with one each for Kojima, Sakurai and Enokidani.

Nittaidai thus go three points clear at the top of the table, with Takatsuki in second not playing this weekend. The JSCL are twelfth, not yet clear of danger with Cerezo Osaka Sakai just four points behind. They next travel to Fukuoka, Nittaidai next play Cerezo on the 26th.

Cerezo Osaka Sakai Ladies  3 - 0  Shimizu Daihachi Pleiades
(Attendance: 166)

Cerezo Osaka Sakai brushed aside the challenge of bottom side Shimizu to give themselves a fighting chance of escaping a relegation play-off, as they move to within one point of Bunnys Kyoto. Cerezo scored thrice in the opening 34 minutes as they overwhelmed the visitors who managed only two attempts on goal in the game.

Matsubara Shiho opened the scoring after nine minutes, club top scorer Tamazakura Kotono added another six minutes later and the final goal came from Hayashi Honoka. Cerezo next have a very difficult tie against leaders Nittaidai on the 26th; Shimizu don't play again until September.

Nojima Stella Kanagawa Sagamihara  2 - 1  Sfida Setagaya FC
(Attendance: 405)

Nojima came out on top in the weekend's biggest match, and are now level on points with Takatsuki. This will have been a devastating loss for Setagaya, who find themselves eight points behind the promotion play-off place and have dropped to seventh.

Two goals in three minutes did the damage for Nojima, both coming from their top scorer Yoshimi Natsuki. Having scored the first in the 63rd minute, she stepped up to take a penalty three minutes later to double the lead. The Setagaya players and supporters were incredulous that the penalty had been awarded in the first place, as there had been minimal contact on Minamino.

Setagaya gamely fought on, and scored through a Tanaka Marina header with six minutes to go to set up a tense finish, but time ran out on the visitors' challenge today and possibly this year. They next play in September, with Nojima in action against Shizuoka Sangyo next weekend looking to move into the automatic promotion spot.

Ehime FC Ladies  1 - 3  JFA Academy Fukushima
(Attendance: 188)

Though the JFA Academy had half as many chances to score as Ehime, it was the away side which were more accurate and they took home all three points to move them into fifth.

Mizutani Yuki showed no tiredness having taken part in a mid-week U-18 tournament and she scored with a superb shot from a great distance out to give the Academy the lead, with what was her second goal in consecutive games. That goal came after eight minutes, and nine minutes later Mizutani was the provider, knocking a long pass up to Nakajo who very calmly put the ball past Osako.

Ehime came back into the game just after the hour mark, Kariya Maiko with her third of the season. From a corner kick she planted the ball well into the top corner from outside the area. The Academy were not to be caught though, as with fourteen minutes remaining Tsukamoto Natsuki scored her first goal of the season.

Ehime travel to Miyagi to play Tokiwagi Gakuen on Sunday, while the Academy don't play again until the last day in August.

Fukuoka J. Anclas  0 - 0  Shizuoka Sangyo University Iwata Bonita
(Attendance: 246)

Many chances but no goals in this tight encounter between two sides who have been well below what was expected of them this season. Of note was Maehara Ringo's first appearance in goal this year for Shizuoka Sangyo.

Both sides are in action this weekend, Fukuoka host the JSCL with Shizuoka Sangyo welcoming third-placed Nojima.

Bunnys Kyoto SC  2 - 6  AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies
(Attendance: 189)

Bunnys Kyoto were unsurprisingly no match for Nagano, though the feeling that the visitors have done too little over the course of the season remains. Nagano were three goals up approaching half time, Hamagaki with the opener and Hashiura with a brace to take her to nine for the season. Penalties were awarded to both sides just before and after the break - Matsuda Nozomi scoring for Bunnys to reduce the arrears only for Yokoyama to again increase them. Bunnys scored again with twenty minutes remaining, Sawada the scorer this time, though Nagano were never in trouble and scored twice more in the final minutes through Makii Kasane and Yokoyama Kumi, whose second goal in this match took her to twenty for the season.

Bunnys are now just one point ahead of Cerezo in fifteenth, and their next game away to Tokiwagi Gakuen on the 27th will be a real test. Nagano take on Shizuoka Sangyo on August 30th.

Bunnys Kyoto SC:
Akiyama Ryo, Akamine Mizuki, Saito Hitomi (capt), Yamamoto Yumi, Shibuya Yumiko, Oshima Sayuri, Matsuda Nozomi, Sawada Yuka, Kawano Maaya, Yamaguchi Yurie, Fuchibe Mami
