JEF united Chiba got another draw with Tochigi SC yesterday at Fuku-ari. The summit match
was the real crush that both team players displayed their braveness in clean fighting
and looked quite entertainment for football fans, but it's not enough for JEF fans as
the club needed the result for the promotion.

JEF's manager Dwight Lodeweges selected Yuichi Kubo as the first attacker and it worked
well enough as Kubo showed us his quickness in the field and his strongness in the air.
however the match started with the first bomb, Tochigi took the opener at only 2nd minute,
they used long-range throw-in from left side and Ricardo Lobo finished the flicked ball.
it looked concentrations were rather low in JEF side but actually it was their own tactics
to get a goal.

JEF players went aggressive to get the equalizer asap, and they gradually took the momentum
with their hard work. At 25th minute Sander Van Gessel took the ball around the center circle
and fed a pass to Masaki Fukai who freely waited at the left side and he finished middle range
shoot to the left side. Fukai's goal accelerated the offensive force and JEF took the lead
with Koki Yonekura's goal at 33rd minute which was assisted by Yuichi Kubo. Kubo penetrated
into the far left side and gave the centering ball to Yonekura who rushed into the goal area.
It was a bit lucky because his centering was blocked by defender but it changed the direction
to the best spot which was far from goal keeper's hand. It was a small surprise JEF players
displayed their progress in team performance and JEF took 2 goals without the tower of Tor
Hogne Aaroy
.

It was a pity that they couldn't take the third goal during the time their attack
worked effective to Tochigi in the last 15minute of the 1st half. And the Brazilian took his second
goal at the 40th minute, he displayed acrobatic goal near the left side post with small angle
of goal chance to show his decisive force.

4 goals in the first half made me imagine more goals in the 2nd half but both manager arranged
the team and the game was settled and fixed to the stiff mode. Yuichi Kubo got a clear chance of
shooting at the center of penalty arc with assist of Ryota Aoki but his shoot was too straight
and blocked by the goal keeper. One goal in any form can release his burden so i hope he works
harder for the day to come soon.

hope JEF wins the next match against Shonan Bellmale at Fuku-ari in the midweek match.
