[J2-R16] Tochigi 1-2 Avispa

Hooray! We won the really important game against Tochigi with 1:2, so now we are the top-chasers of the Top 3 Reysol, Kofu and Chiba.
We had to replace Nakajima and Tanaka, who must be injured. The two were replaced by Miyaji and Nagira.
We started strong with a goal after 4 minutes. Genki scored his 8th goal of the season after a good pass from Okamoto. Genki was left alone by the Tochigi-defence on his left site. With a left cracker from Genki and a little help from the post, the ball found his way into the goal.
Tochigi scored the 1:1 after a header from Choi just before the half time, but just 10 minutes in the 2nd, Okubo scored his 4th goal of the season after a long time...
Kudo played a good cross and Okamoto made his second asisst with a "chest-pass" to Jumbo, who run into the middle of the box and tipped the ball into the goal for the final 1:2!
Yusuke made his comeback after his injury by came in for Nagasato in the 92nd minute.

This win was so important for us! Now we have to stay cool and have to win the Kyushu-Derby against Oita, the first against Oita since our last J1-days back in 2006. I'm pretty optimistic. We are on the run, specially at home. Oita is a bit down at the moment and waiting for the next win.
