Match Preview 35th Sec : VS Mito Hollyhock at Tsuyama Athletics Stadium on October 4

On April 29, Fagiano were mostly forced to play on their own side. In the 20th minutes, Mito's midfielder, Funatani took a fabulous shot, bringing forces to the home club. After the stressful first period, a midfielder, Sekido failed to make an equalizer with a penalty kick. As a result, Fagiano lost by one goal.  


This June, head coach, Hashiratani was shockingly dismissed due to the club's slump. As of now, the chief coach, Nishigaya leads the team for some time being. This summer, a young forward, Musashi SUZUKI joined the team on a loan from Albirex Niigata. He also plays for U-22 international. Another forward, Baba can be viewed as a threat.  He has constantly been on a pitch with 9 goals so far.


At last sec, Mito was defeated by FC Gifu. The first period ended in a scoreless tie. After the break, Gifu knocked off the rival, striking two goals. Mito struggled to equalize the match because Musashi SUZUKI did not appear at this sec.     


Mito now stay at 20th position with 36 points. Their immediate aim is to stay in the division 2 next year. It seems that they are highly motivated, therefore, the match is going to be tough.
