Albirex Niigata, the runner-up in the previous tournament, lost 0-2 to Tokyo Verdi and disappeared in the third round.

In the 7th minute of the first half, defender Okamoto Masanari (25) gave up the first goal by the opponent. In the following 32nd minute, the score was added from a right cross.

The attack was a chance to score by starting left midfielder Omi Yota (22), who started as a left midfielder, but the attack ended up not being linked and the impact was lacking, and when halftime entered, a major boo was caused by Niigata supporters.

Ace midfielder Hasegawa Motonori (26), who scored six goals in the league from the start of the second half, and midfielder Okumura Hitoshi (24), were also brought in at the same time. Gradually, the attacks began to be visible, and although he increased his playing time in the enemy's territory, he was unable to shake the net.

In the league match, he was 19th in the J2 relegation zone, and in the practice match on the 12th they lost 1-2 to Niigata Medical and Welfare University. On this day, he was completely defeated by Tokyo V and was unable to escape from the quagmire.

Coach Kimori Daisuke (47), unable to grasp the outcome of the outcome, said, “We were unable to break the bad flow of the previous match (in the league match) and were unable to find a solution. In the second half, we managed to get our sense of the behind-the-scenes and tried to break through, but we succumbed to our opponent's Strong and were unable to show any good.” There was no expression on his face.
