Report

The game was on some satellite channel so we couldn’t watch it, but as the team is waiting for several players to return from injury (Cabore, Tokunaga, Ishikawa, Kajiyama, to be precise) this game was a perfect excuse to get some of the younger players more playing time – partciularly Soutan Tanabe and Kenta Mukuhara.  While a true exorcism of the JEF demon may have to wait until a league game, this win boosts FCT to 2nd in Group B and in position to advance to the next round.
