100: Niigata 100th win in J1 League

Congratulations!
Albirex Niigata achived their 100th wins in J1 league with yesterday's 1-0 victory over Kashima.

Their first win in J1 was the game against Kashiwa Reysol in their third J1 league game in 4th April in 2004 when they newly promoted.
In the heavy rain, Niigata got scored two goals in the stoppage time to come back from 0-1.

Niigata have kept their place at J1 for eight successive seasons although they were forced difficulties every season because regular class players left for bigger clubs, which was fate for financilly small and local side club.

However finally they got 100th victory yesterday. And the oppornents were seven time league champions Kashima Antlers who had been thought to live in the different world when Niigata joined J1.

That is very impressive for the team and fans.

However the record is just one milestone. The important thing is for the team to keep theirselves at the top league and to keep winning from now on.

Let's Go, Go  Albirex Niigata!
