Kenta Inoue’s finish from Takumi Ueshima’s diagonal feed
They took the lead early in the 11th minute of the first half. Then, in the 27th minute of the first half, an opponent was sent off. There is no doubt that these two factors were the main reasons why they were able to dominate the match. If the game had been a little more evenly matched between 11 players and 11 players, the sport of soccer might have taken on a different look.
That’s why there is so much value in scoring first. First of all, Takumi Ueshima’s diagonal feed was amazing.
“Sometimes the opponent had five backs, and sometimes they had three backs, which was something I learned from scouting.When I took a quick look, I noticed that the opponent’s wing backs were in a high position, so I noticed that the opponent had a back three. I thought I could use it. I always keep this in mind during practice, and it’s Inoue’s strong point. We talked about aiming for it before today’s game. I think that communication worked well.” )
A well-aimed feed hits the opponent’s vital points. The sequence of events leading up to Kenta Inoue’s movement and shot after receiving the pass is also impressive. He not only evaded the defender, but also dribbled away from the goal, followed by a beautiful finish to the far side. The No. 17 player, who has had more opportunities to play as a starting pitcher due to Élber’s injury, is now rapidly showing his presence. The words he speaks are always powerful.
“I tried to shift the ball with the first one, but I felt like the opponent wouldn’t follow me, so I decided to bring another one.I think this team can win if we can win with the quality of our wingers. , I was playing with the intention of getting better there.”
That’s exactly right, and the quality of the wingers is probably the barometer for Marinos. The performance of the team as a whole is very important, but the difference between victory and defeat is also largely due to the individual. If Jan Matthäus and Élber can perform at a high level, the chances of winning will increase. The same applies to Inoue, Ryo Miyaichi, and Kota Mizunuma.
Marinos, who was at the peak of his game, started the goal show and continued to score additional points one after another. Anderson López calmly converted a penalty kick from a set piece, and then Sei Kato’s sharp cross caused the goalkeeper to make a mistake. In the second half, Lopez scored his second goal, and in the end, Asahi Uenaka finished off a cross from substitute Mizunuma.
It was an overwhelming 5-0 victory, with nothing to complain about.

Match Review: Marinos Triumph Over Rivals with Style
On a blustery evening in November—one of those nights where the weather may question your life choices but you just can’t resist the call of football—Kenta Inoue showcased why he’s the man to watch. His finishing skills were that of a ninja with a more artistic flair: you know, the kind that would sell paintings at the local art gallery but also have you questioning if he actually sends shivers down the spine of defenders like some fierce ghost from an old horror flick. It was a brilliant finish from Takumi Ueshima’s diagonal feed. Talk about a pass that could make Michelangelo weep—if he were here, he’d probably be yelling, “How did I not paint that?”
They took the lead early—11 minutes in, to be precise—faster than you can say, “What’s the score?” The plot thickened in the 27th minute when an opponent got sent off. A recipe for success, or just a football fairy tale gone right! It’s difficult to argue against those being key factors in this match. Because with one team down a man, it’s like showing up to a dinner party that’s supposed to have 12 guests, only to find out they all suddenly decided to join a potato sack race instead.
A well-aimed pass that targets an opponent’s vital points is like a sneaky ninja move. Let’s be honest, no one likes a surprise at the end of the game unless it’s a five-goal victory! And oh boy, did Kenta Inoue know how to dribble past defenders like they were mere traffic cones in a rather offbeat version of an obstacle course. The No. 17 jersey should come with a warning: “Caution: may cause heart palpitations among defenders.”
With Élber sidelined, Inoue—seemingly the understudy turned leading man—took center stage and left no doubt about his eagerness to impress. His post-game comments echoed with confidence: “I tried to shift the ball, but… who knew I could pull off two!” This isn’t just football talk; this is a masterclass in cheeky banter mixed with sheer talent. It’s as if he’s also dropped a hint that this team is like a fine wine, improving with each sip… or goal, in this case!
And speaking of the team, the quality of their wingers is akin to that famous seasoning: if you don’t have a dash of it, your dish (or match) might just fall flat. The entire team’s performance matters, truly, but in football, a weak winger can turn a glorious goal into an embarrassing blooper reel quicker than you can say “own goal.” Luckily for Marinos, their wingmen were firing on all cylinders. Names like Matthäus and Élber are synonymous with action, but it seems Inoue, Ryo Miyaichi, and Kota Mizunuma were also there to show what they could do, making it a party—one where everyone gets cake!
Marinos, the team seeming to float on cloud nine in this match, had their goal show in full operation. Anderson López was coolness personified as he calmly converted a penalty kick. And let’s not forget Sei Kato, whose cross caused such a ruckus that the goalkeeper probably thought he’d accidentally walked into an alternate universe. Imagine the look on the goalie’s face—it’s one that says, “I came here to stop goals, not to be part of a circus!” By the end of it all, they added an impressive 5-0 victory to their scoreboard—complete domination, an exquisite dance on the pitch.
New Blood: Mochizuki and Asada Make Their Mark
But that’s not all, folks! Midway through the second half, the spotlight shone on two eager debutants: Kohei Mochizuki and Daito Asada. It’s like bringing two new players into a board game that’s already in fit shape—just when you think things can’t get better, they throw in a couple of wild cards. And hey, who doesn’t love a dramatic entrance?
This game was more than just a result; it was a reminder of the beauty of football, camaraderie, undying spirit, and—let’s not kid ourselves—some fabulous footwork. With a mix of established stars and emerging talents, Marinos’ future looks as bright as the artificial lights punctuating their stadium. So here’s to rocking performances, sneaking up on the opposition when they least expect it, and scoring goals like candy in a piñata! Who’s ready for the next match?
We’ll find out soon enough. Stay tuned for more footie shenanigans!
**Interview with Kenta Inoue after Marinos’ Impressive Victory**
*Interviewer*: Kenta, congratulations on today’s outstanding performance and the team’s 5-0 victory! Your finish from Takumi Ueshima’s diagonal feed was exceptional. Can you walk us through that moment?
*Kenta Inoue*: Thank you! It was really a team effort. Takumi’s pass was perfect; it set me up beautifully. I noticed that one of their defenders was slightly out of position, and I decided to use that opportunity to shift the ball and dribble into space. The goal came from combining our communication and the practice we put in during training.
*Interviewer*: You mentioned communication—how important was it for the team to adapt to the changes in the opponent’s defense?
*Kenta Inoue*: Very important! We studied their formation closely, and when we noticed their wingbacks were high up on the pitch, we knew we could exploit that. It’s crucial to read the game as it unfolds, and I think we did an excellent job of that tonight.
*Interviewer*: Following Élber’s injury, you’ve stepped up as a key player. How does it feel to take on more responsibility?
*Kenta Inoue*: It feels great! While I’m sad for Élber, I see this as an opportunity to showcase what I can do. I’ve always been prepared and trained for moments like this. The team’s trust gives me confidence to play my game, but it’s all about contributing to our collective success.
*Interviewer*: With today’s performance, it seems like the team’s wingers played a vital role in creating chances. How do you view their impact on the team’s overall performance?
*Kenta Inoue*: Absolutely! The quality of our wingers is essential for us. They stretch the opponent’s defense, create spaces, and bring great crosses into the box. Without that, our attacking play could suffer. It’s definitely a team effort, and when everyone plays their roles well, it leads to results like today.
*Interviewer*: You mentioned that you believe this team can win with the quality of its wingers. What’s the mindset going into the next matches in the AFC Champions League?
*Kenta Inoue*: The mindset is to keep improving game by game. We want to build on this momentum and continue scoring goals. We are always focusing on our plays in training, and I believe we can go far if we maintain the quality and spirit we showed today.
*Interviewer*: Thank you, Kenta. Best of luck with your upcoming matches!
*Kenta Inoue*: Thank you! I appreciate it. We’ll keep pushing!
