Urawa Steady Progress for their first champion


More than 10 thousands of away supporters (no doubt, the record in Kashima) came and they won the just reward.
Kashima Antlers 2. Urawa Reds 3.
23-Oct, 2004, Kashima Stadium
Scorers: 10' Tanaka (Urawa), 22' Iwamasa (Kashima), 28' Tanaka, 44' Ogasarawa (Kashima), 84' Emerson (Urawa)

Urawa defeated the enemy of long standing Kashima completely in Kashima Stadium where Urawa had won only once in ten years.

The match was very exciting. "In the 1st half, both teams were so offensive that they appealed J.League. In the 2nd half, Urawa presented themselves." said the coach, Guido Buchwald. League's best striker Emerson finished today. But Reds' strength is on each man's responsible defense. They take the ball proactively and rush into the goal speedy.

Urawa won 10 points for the difficult middle five matches (awasy FC-Tokyo, followers G.Osaka and Ichihara, 1st stage winner Yokohama-FM, and Kashima). The Championship play off in December will be the best one.
