Both teams are in the lower ranks with 1 draw and 1 loss following 2 games. It was Kumamoto, who was promoted from J3, who won his first victory of the season.
According to the policy of director Masahiro Shimoda, Omiya will build up by connecting a pass from the goalkeeper. Naturally, the opponent comes to press from the front line. Press not only the ball holder but also the pass recipient to keep it free. As a result, Kumamoto came to block Omiya’s attack with a man-to-man mark, similar to Yokohama FC in the opening round. In the 13th minute, Omiya’s Atsushi Kawata was allowed to open the scoring, but following that he played almost a one-sided game.
On the other hand, in Omiya, GK Tomoki Ueda and CB Keisuke Nishimura chose a long pass, but due to lack of accuracy, they were picked up by Kumamoto and caused a wavy attack. Therefore, from the beginning of the second half, midfielder Ryo Shinzato replaced midfielder Ryo Shinzato and midfielder Keisuke Oyama replaced Hidetoshi Miyuki. This replacement plan hits the mark and brings it to the even deployment. In the 26th minute of the second half, Kumamoto also replaced midfielder Yuhi Takemoto with midfielder Keisuke Tanabe and forward Toshiki Takahashi with forward Shohei Aihara. This appointment was a hit.
In the 28th minute of the second half, CB Masahiro Sugata scored a tie with J’s first goal from Tanabe’s right CK, and in the 41st minute Awaihara hit Tanabe’s cross with his head and succeeded in reversing. Director Takeshi Oki said, “I was under a lot of pressure from the front. The pressure was good and I pushed it in.” Director Shimoda said, “I was too bad for my opponent. I think it’s all my fault that I’ve done it. “
Another reason for separating the light and darkness of both teams is the degree of perfection of the teams. Omiya, who has lost a large number of main classes including both SBs, is a player who joined this season with 5 out of 11 starting members. On the other hand, there are only two people in Kumamoto. Kumamoto’s mainstay last season has almost remained, and Tanabe and left-handed young CB Osamu Henry Iyoha, who were involved in the two goals, have been reinforced. For this reason, Omiya showed a good fight to catch up from 0-2 to 2-2 in the opening round, while giving a penalty shootout in additional time and losing to Yokohama FC. Like the Niigata match, which was overtaken by 2-2 from the 2-0 lead and drew, I think the tough fight will continue for a while. The cause of future anxiety may be that such a negative image may be traumatic for athletes.
