Report

We came with an adjusted lineup from the previous 8 games, they scored 2 goals, but Hirayama put one in the net late to seal Tokyo’s victory.  Sadly the game wasn’t broadcast so I had no way of seeing it, but the 1-2 loss was enough to get Tokyo to the semifinals 6-3 on aggregate.  Our next opponent will be Shimizu S-Pulse (again), with the away leg on 9/2 and the home leg on 9/6.  Winner plays the winner of Yokohama vs. Kawasaki in the final.
