Kawasaki Frontale, back to better again. After open house beat Kashiwa Reysol with a score 1-0 in the J.League 2022 at Todoroki Stadium, Kanagawa prefecture.
In contrast to Kashiwa’s [3-1-4-2], which has a thick center, Kawasaki Frontale has an original position of [4-3-3], but when defending, it corresponds to the opponent’s shadows, Matheus Savio and Sachiro Toshima. João Schmidt and Kento Tachibanada lay side by side at the voluntary position, and Daiya Tono saw the anchor Dodge.
However, it was Kashiwa who made a chance from the intense check on the front line and the vertical pass of Taiyo Koga. In the 9th minute Tomoya Koyamatsu triggered a mistake by the opponent and became one-on-one with the goalkeeper. However, the shot goes off to the right.
On the other hand, Kawasaki F was decided in 15 minutes from one long ball. Leandro He escapes Damian, but GK Kim hits Sunkyu’s super save. Then, in the 27th minute, Marcinho kicked into the goal from CK, but this was a no goal because Kazuya Yamamura had a hand just before.
It was 45 + 2 minutes that the long-awaited first goal was scored for Kawasaki Frontale, who gradually lost the press of Kashiwa and had many opportunities for Marcinho to break through the dribble. Marcinho, who caught up with Tono’s ball on the final line, shook off the opponent and entered. At the end Leandro he handed it over to Damian to direct the goal.
In the second half, it heats up further. The offense and defense at the edge of the ball became even more intense, and the number of yellow cards increased. Kashiwa will put Angelotti, the target, on the front line, and Ikuya Unoki and Wataru Iwashita will be put in early to recover.
Still, it cannot go like the previous section of the home that was defeated by Kawasaki F. From the second half, the switch will be turned on again and the ball will be delivered to Marcinho and others who are doing well. Kento Tachibanada also started to show goodness and gained well by dribbling powerfully. Kawasaki F is leading, but remains at a high tempo without changing the pace. Rather than calming down, I aimed for the next one point.
Kashiwa, on the other hand, aggressively cuts substitute cards and introduces fresh players. However, it is not the case that the chances have increased. There were many scenes where Tono, Kei Chinen, and Ten Miyagi, who replaced Marcinho, were forced to respond.
With more than 17,000 supporters from both teams applauding, each other’s strong play continues. In the 71st minute, Tono dribbled and carried it, shooting a regrettable shot with his left foot. Kawasaki F all ran to the end and maintained an aggressive stance. No two wins so far. Due to the AFC Champions League, it is not possible to show courage to home supporters for more than a month. He showed his strong will to victory by playing to a large number of spectators.
And time is up. Warm applause wraps around Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium. Kawasaki F won 1-0. Kashiwa looked like he cried to one point, but in the second half he couldn’t make a good chance.
After this, Kawasaki Frontale will depart to Johor Bahru, Malaysia for participate in AFC Champions League 2022 group stage, Group I between 15-30 April.
