REPORT

Another draw…

But there were a lot of positives.

It was never an easy match, what with an away fixture against a team at the bottom of the group with not a single win which had to prove a lot.

The data show an almost draw in all compartments on the field as well. Neither team had many opportunities and had to do with it.

It all came down to the penalties shootout again.

Now we have the dubious records of being the team with the biggest number of draws in the whole League and the longest unbeaten run in our own very tight group presently with only 4 points separating 9 teams out of 10.

It certainly promises a very close fight until the very end of the competition which we should be thankful for as it will help us continue to build a better team!

We will have to prove ourselves again a difficult adversary in the name of Sanfrecce Hiroshima at home next Sunday! We will absolutely need all our fans’ support!
