Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo showed resilience to overcome a spirited Fujieda MYFC side 2-1 at home on April 29, 2026, in the J2/J3 100 Year Vision League. The victory keeps Sapporo in the hunt for the league title, while Fujieda will feel they deserved more from the contest.

Match Overview

Fujieda stunned the home crowd by taking the lead in the 12th minute. A quick counterattack saw winger Kaito Uehara slot home after a defensive mix-up in the Sapporo backline. The visitors continued to press, but Sapporo gradually found their rhythm.

The equalizer came in the 35th minute. Midfielder Ryo Hama collected a loose ball 25 yards out and unleashed a fierce drive that rocketed into the top corner. Sapporo then completed the turnaround just before halftime, when striker Takuma Arano met a cross from the right to head home at the far post.

Fujieda pushed hard in the second half, but Sapporo’s defense, led by Yuto Horigome, held firm. The hosts nearly added a third when a long-range shot hit the crossbar in the 67th minute.

Key Moments

• 12’ – Kaito Uehara gives Fujieda a shock lead.
• 35’ – Ryo Hama equalizes with a stunning strike from distance.
• 44’ – Takuma Arano heads Sapporo in front just before the break.

Tactical Story

Fujieda’s early goal came from a perfectly executed transition, but they could not sustain that intensity. Sapporo’s experience showed as they controlled possession (58%) and increased the tempo after going behind. The home side’s wide play was particularly effective, stretching Fujieda’s defense.

Standout Players

• Ryo Hama (Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo) – A goal and a tireless midfield display; the engine of the team.
• Takuma Arano (Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo) – Clinical header for the winner and held up play well.
• Kaito Uehara (Fujieda MYFC) – Bright and dangerous on the break, but lacked support in the second half.

Season Impact

Consadole Sapporo’s comeback win keeps them within two points of the league leaders. Fujieda MYFC, despite a positive performance, remain in the lower half, and their inability to hold leads away from home continues to be a concern.
