This match between Viamaterras Miyazaki and AS Harima Albion was an exhilarating spectacle of women's football in the Empress Cup competition. An intense match unfolded with a total of 15 goals shared between the two teams, ending in a close 8-7 victory for AS Harima Albion.

The home team, Viamaterras Miyazaki, initiated the match assertively, scoring 2 goals in the early stage of the first half (at 4:05 and 7:42 respectively). However, their initial lead was reduced to a one-goal margin as AS Harima Albion responded at 36:24 with their first goal. The momentum continued to sway in the second half with Albion equalizing at 1:11:47 indicating a possible turnaround.

In terms of tactics and ball possession, both teams evidenced equivalent defensive struggles as evidenced by their comparable offsides; two from Viamaterras and three from Harima Albion indicating keenness on attack from both ends.

Despite the robust offensive approach from both teams, the lack of precision in finishing was noticeable. The incongruity between the number of corner kicks against the total goals scored revealed opportunities missed by both parties. Viamaterras could only capitalize three corner kicks while Harima Albion had five attempts from corner kicks. This margin could have led to a bigger difference in the final scoreline in favor of either team.

There were not many interruptions in terms of cautions, with no red cards issued to either side, an indication of an intense but fair match. Harima Albion was the only team to be awarded a yellow card in the second half at 1:33:17, but this did not significantly affect their game plan or subsequent performance.

Conclusively, the match testified to both teams' offensive capabilities, as well as their potential areas of growth in defensive solidity and precision. Although Viamaterras Miyazaki opened early, AS Harima Albion's resilience and successful counter-strategy punctuated the match outcome.

In hindsight, both teams were largely on par statistically; however, the ability to make a comeback and capitalize on scoring opportunities, primarily swung this thrilling match in AS Harima Albion's favor.
