Tokyo Blue failed to revert their 3-2 loss to Urawa Reds in the League Cup game against Shonan Bellmare, which ended on a rather sour 1-0 note. In the last eight games, they have compiled three wins, three losses and two stalemates.

The game against the Red Diamonds of Urawa was a bit disappointing for the hopeful supporters who thought victory was theirs in the nine-minute icebreaker. They eventually led a temporary 2-1 by the 70th minute which was overturned by the 3-2 scoresheet reading fulltime to the avid irritation of the fans who had their expectations cut short.

Hiroshima’s recent rebirth is impressive, and the lds deserve a pat on the back. Victory here could mean a spring towards the third or fourth spot.
