[Game Report] Omiya Ardija-Kyoto Sanga FC 1-1

Sanga Starting Eleven: Mizutani; Teshima, Masushima, Mizumoto; Watanabe, Kakuda, Sidiclei, Sato; Hayashi, Yanagisawa, Ando. On the bench: Hirai; Morioka, Kato Koken, Nakayama, Miyayoshi, Nishino, Fernandinho.

We're playing! And three shots for Kyoto in the first 10 minutes, but no goals... while Omiya seizes the moment and takes the lead in the 12th minute. Ardija-Sanga 1-0.

Thirty minutes in the first half, a balanced game. Sanga has its chances, while our defense still looks a bit uncertain. Why not Morioka instead of Teshima?

First Half finishes with Ardija one goal up, even when shots are 8-8.
135 minutes left in this season, Sanga needs a point to secure permanence in J1.

Miracle at Omiya: in the 15th minute, Hayashi makes it 1-1. 30m left.

25 minutes left, Nishino comes in for Ando. Rather than defending the 1-1, Coach Kato throws in a pure forward (who still has to score a goal in J1 this season...). A good chance for Yanagisawa, overall a balanced game, a tie a fair score so far.

Five minutes left, and in the meantime FC Tokyo takes the lead over our rivals Albirex... Veteran Morioka comes in for today's hero Hayashi.

It's over!!! 1-1. Kyoto Sanga FC stays in J1!!!
