Fagiano Next have an unexpected piece of good luck

At the closing stage of Japan fooball league, Next have been around the bottom this season even though they showed remarkable catching-up right after the second stage began. Literally, they have been relegation-threatened.


As of 14th sec of second stage, Next have five victories, one draw and eight losses with 16 points. Recently, Next have struggled to score goals so that the team seems to have lost their steam. The team's top scorer is a forward, Kobayashi with six goals. He has been certainly expected to score more goals.  


This season, it had been already settled that only one club would be relegated to Regional League, however, recently, SP Kyoto Football Club in Japan Football Leage announced to drop out of the league, which means no club would get down to the lower league.


Luckily, Fagiano Next will almost certainly remain in this league, but they are expected to rise up to get up to higher position as much as possible.
