Brittany Cameron’s first game in the Nadeshiko League. She guarded the Sendai’s goal for 90 minutes.

Attendance: 1,498
Shots: Yunogo 10 – 14 Niigata

Yunogo Belle finished two games of the second stage without using substitution at all. They won the first stage and is running at the top, but with an unbelievable lack of squad depth not to mention that Fukumoto is their only GK. Today their equalizer was (what else?) Aya Miyama’s direct FK.

Two NWSL Nadeshikos played today. Kawasumi for full time, Kiryu for the second half. “Naho” assisted and scored. “Nana” was effectively blocked. (Looks the Beleza supporters forgot to raise the “Gorgeous Lefty” banner.) And both suffered their teams’ defeat.
