Hayato Fuse was also out from the game after suffering a long term injury. Culebras stepped in for the experienced Japanese. Sorenstam also starts while Viguer was left on the bench. Marc United played a traditional 4-5-1 formation which sees Simu, Crowly, Alfonsi, Duff and Bozikovic across the midfield. The game started with a bang as Himesh Sawant's header was tipped over the bar by Leighton Hoyle. Sorenstam then had a couple of attempts on the 21st and 25th minute. Marc United knew they had to improve their game and Alfonsi headed the ball towards Endo but was held. Sorenstam then broke free from the clutches of Christian Eder and slotted the ball past Hoyle on the 29th minute after a good pass from Yusuki. The Swede opens his account in the team and celebrated by kissing the club badge. Chuter then had an attempt blocked by Endo on the 36th minute. 2 minutes later, Simu's stinging shot gave Endo a bit of a problem as the Japanese could only push the ball out for a corner kick. Before the whistle was blown for half time, Ryrosyuki had a half volley blocked by Hoyle. Ryrosyuki looked dangerous in the game and looked like scoring in several occasions.
Sorenstam celebrates with his teammates.On the second half, Ryrosyuki's hard work was paid off as Teralidis played a nice ball to him and he finished it off with class 2 minutes after the restart. The Japanese side continued to bombard the French with shots from Sawant and Sorenstam. Oosting then came in to replace Chuter as the manager plans to change his attacking capabilities. Duff had a few shots on target but Endo was clearly on form tonight. Oosting had his only chance on the 87th minute but it did not bother the keeper. Duff's injury time shot was also punched away by Endo and the game then ended 2-0 to the visitors.
The man of the match was Kiki Ryrosyuki who dictated the Japanese midfield and offense.
