With a change in her team’s organization, Yui Hasegawa had more opportunities in the box than in the last season, scoring her first goal in a while. Personally, I noticed her sidestep just before Aoba Fujino kicked the pass, which allowed her to gain a space for the shot and impressed me a lot for her ability of spatial awareness and predictive ability.
