[J2-R30] Kumamoto 2-3 Avispa

4 games without a lose and 10 points, that's pretty nice!
Another nice thing is, that Takahashi scored after a long time again and against his old club.
Yutaka turned from a goal machine into a really good winger up front, who can play really nice passes and crosses. It's a bit like Johnsen at Shimizu. Johnsen was the goalgetter at Nagoya and now is more the worker up front and Okazaki the scorer, but back to the game:
The Derby turned really exciting in the second half. We scored the leading goal after a nice cross from Takahashi. Okamoto didn't get the ball clearly, so it bounced from the field, over the goalie, into the net. 0:1.
We scored the 0:2 and the 0:3 in just two minutes.
The league gave Jumbo the 0:2, but in my eyes, he didn't reach the ball from Jun Suzuki.
The 0:3 came from the Roasso-Legend himself.
Roasso came back right after our 0:3 with a penaltykick and scored the 1:3.
In extra-time, the game got close after Roasso scored the 2:3, but things turned out well for us.
We are in a pretty good run now and Shinoda job should be save for the next few weeks.
Anything else than a lose against Okayama on sunday would be a big dissapointment after this really good run now.
