Round 11 vs Hiroshima "Fight without giving up, dramatic come-from-behind victory"
On the 31st, Urawa Reds faced off against Sanfrecce Hiroshima in Round 11 of the Meiji Yasuda J1 League at Saitama Stadium.
The Reds conceded the opening goal in the second half, but when Hiroki Sakai equalized the score, Atsuki Ito scored a come-from-behind goal in stoppage time in the second half to win 2-1.
Against Hiroshima, who pressed from the front line, the Reds players not only passed short passes, but also used long balls behind the opponents to aim for goals.
In the early minutes, Ito slipped vertically between the opponents and received a long pass from the back to create a shot chance for Jose Kante. After that, he kicked long balls to push the entire team up, and the target players competed fiercely, picking up the second ball and connecting it to the second and third attacks.
On the other hand, they do not allow Hiroshima to shoot in a good form with quick switching in the opponent's half and strong defense near their own penalty area. Even when a shot was shot in front of the goal from the flow of the set play, Shusaku Nishikawa continued to concentrate on defense, such as firmly hitting the ball that was difficult to bounce and bounce.
In the second half, they conceded a goal in the 50th minute of the opening, but they immediately started to attack with the aim of equalizing. Then, in the 67th minute, Maciej Skorza sent Shinzo Koroki, Bryan Linssen and Tomoaki Okubo to the pitch at the same time.
It was the 72nd minute when the pace was set.
Takahiro Takahiro Sekine 's long pass, and Koroki received the loose ball and passed it to the right side. After passing Okubo and Sakai, Sekine dribbled once and then turned. If you send a pass to the center, Ito will trap it in the opponent's penalty area and pass it forward. Then Sakai slipped behind the opponent and shot with one touch from near the right corner of the goal area. They completely broke down the opponent's defense and caught up with the score.
As you can see from the fact that Sakai returned to his own half with a dash before he was happy with the goal, the Reds aimed only for victory. While defending solidly, such as Marius Hoibraten repelling the opponent's mid-range shots with his head, they aim for a comeback with overwhelmingly more attacks than their opponents.
And it was 90 + 2 minutes immediately after entering the 8-minute injury time due to the VAR (video assistant referee) confirmation of Hiroshima's goal and the suspension due to the Hiroshima GK's pain.
After passing short passes from the left to the center and then to the right, Sakai crossed from inside. When Linssen on the far side dropped the ball with his head, Ito, who was running in front of the goal, volleyed with his left foot. When the come-from-behind goal was decided, Ito collapsed as it was, and a circle of joy was formed in front of the goal. Ito shouted at the fans and supporters behind the north goal, and Sakai returned to his own half and gave a fist pump. In front of the bench, Coach Maciej raised his fist up and down repeatedly to express his joy.
After that, Takuya Ogiwara, who came on as a substitute, slid back the opponent's cross, and Akimoto, who changed his position from left side back to left side half, dribbled up, and forward Koroki defended in his own penalty area. , Everyone fought until the end and won a come-from-behind victory. We accumulated 3 winning points firmly in the undigested game.
The next match will be the Meiji Yasuda J1 League Round 16 against Kashima Antlers Antlers [MATCH PARTNER Tanita], which will be held at Saitama Stadium from 17:00 on Sunday, June 4th.
