Edmilson Brace

J1 Game2
Albirex Niigata 2vs1 Omiya Aldija
@Saitama Stadium

Two goals from striker Edmilson lift the team up to 5th of the J1 table.
The ball was possessed by Omiya and they created the chances from set-pieces in early part of the game. However It was Edmilson who got opener in 18 minute when he took the yano's pass and beat a Omiya defender.
His second one came 15 minutes before the whisle after omiya striker equalised just a minute after the break. The 23 year-old Brazilian found the goal with a striker's instinct. He used a sole of his foot to push the ball into the net in the confusion from the coner kick.
After that,Omiya took power-play tactics with their tall players into the front line, but Niigata managed to hold on them for a 2-1 win in the "Orange derby".

Hi orange.

This it was an important victory, good performance for Edmilson an Silvinho, the defense worked good (I remember the match with Kawasaki).

The second goal, with this "kick shoot" and this ball effect, a lucky goal and i hope a lucky year for Niigata. Now, the 2 next matchs are "easy", a bad (this year) team Jubilo and more bad team Cerezo.
I hope 6 points

One question Orange ¿you are Japanese?

Hi, Dan. How are you doing?
I'm Japanese and living in hometown "Niigata".
I want everyone all over the world to know Japanese soccer and Albirex Niigata, so I'm doing this blog.
And you are... not Japanese, are you?
