Sagamihara 1 (74' Matsumoto)
Fukushima 0
Stadium: Sagamihara Gion Stadium
Attendance: 7860
Sagamihara spent most of the match on the defensive until Kohei Hattori was replaced by Yuki Matsumoto in the 59th minute. It was a well timed substitution that changed the flow of the game. In the 74th minute midfielder Yuya Sano floated a long ball forward that put Matsumoto through 1-on-1 with the Fukushima keeper which he coolly slotted home to give Sagamihara the lead.
In response Fukushima brought on several attacking players to try and force an equaliser. Fukushima had a chance to equalise on a corner in additional time, but Sagamihara brought all their players behind the ball, and Fukushima were unable to steal an late equaliser.
A crowd of 7860 turned up to Sagamihara Gion Stadium to see the home team get their first win in 6 games.
