Overall Review: The results of knockout play-offs Leg 1 were largely a reflection of the league phase standings. The three upper teams, Arsenal (5), United (6), and Real Madrid (7) in the league won the individual away matches. Wolfsburg (9) were the only team to tie with a team of the upper table standing, Juventus (8), by leveling from a two-goal deficit at the 81st minute at home. It may be difficult for lower-ranked teams to make a comeback in Leg 2, where home advantages are given to upper-ranked teams.

Blogger’s comments: I’m pleased with Akane Okuma’s return and the selection of Yui Narumiya, Honoka Hayashi, and Maya Hijikata. Yuzuki Yamamoto’s use as a side full-back is highly questionable. I hope for the manager’s proper placement and team tactics for all the other players.
