Enjoy your trip - plenty of goals at Omiya this season, so I’m sure you’ll be fine!!

First time listening in the actual country the games happen in, hope your talking up the excitement in Omiya isn’t a kiss of death, still can’t be worse than the 0-0 the last time I went to Nack5 6 years ago.

Attendance at Mitsuzawa last night for Yokohama FC 0-2 Hiroshima in the Levain Cup last night: 8, 641 (it might have been a Semi-Final, but it was the Levain Cup after all)!
It’s a relief not to have to face Hiroshima again after Sunday’s 2nd leg.

While some of their counterattacking play is seriously impressive, the constant moaning to the referee (usually from Sho Sasaki) is beyond tedious.

The cynical fouling on halfway to stop breakaways is also a bit much IMO.
Things might have been different when Solomon Sakuragawa rose to meet a corner early in the 2nd half, but his header rattled the crossbar & Hiroshima escaped.

The visitors also had a ‘goal’ disallowed after a VAR check (such a blatant foul that it’s incredible the goal was initially given).
Full-time at Mitsuzawa, & Yokohama FC’s hopes of reaching the Levain Cup Final seem remote after a 0-2 defeat against a very slick Hiroshima.

Yotaro Nakajima fired in off the post to make it 1-0 in the 1st half, & Shuto Nakano lobbed an out-of-position Akinori Ishikawa for a superb 2nd late on.

Attendance at a bright & breezy Mitsuzawa this evening for Yokohama FC 1-0 Shonan in J1: a more-than-decent 12, 751 (including hordes of Shonan supporters in fine voice).

Really good atmosphere!

#JLeague
After a hard-fought 90 minutes at Mitsuzawa, a brilliant 1st-half strike from university rookie Kyo Hosoi has given Yokohama FC a vital 1-0 win over relegation rivals Shonan (our only double of the season).

Not the prettiest game, but beautiful in its own (attritional) way.

We’re still alive!
