In a relatively close encounter between Shonan Bellmare and FC Tokyo of the J1 League on June 22, 2024, FC Tokyo emerged as the slender victors with a 1-0 win. The critical factor of this match was at the 78th minute of play in the second half when FC Tokyo's scored the only goal of the match.

Analyzing the game from the start, Shonan Bellmare seemed to play a more attacking game, given their impressive tally of corner kicks, totaling 10 compared to FC Tokyo's 3. This indicated a higher pressure on FC Tokyo's defence but their goalkeeper and defence-line did an outstanding job in not letting any of the corner kicks convert into a goal. However, Shonan Bellmare weren't clinical in front of goal as they couldn't convert those opportunities into real goals.

On the other hand, FC Tokyo showed an appreciably structured defensive discipline, illustrated by their clean sheet with zero offside throughout the game. Their lesser corner kicks (just 3) compared to Shonan Bellmare can be interpreted as their emphasis being on a defensive, counter-attacking style which ultimately paid off where they capitalized on that one critical chance, making it the turning point of the match.

Besides, the conduct on the field was another noteworthy aspect of the game. It was a relatively fair match with Shonan Bellmare having zero yellow cards and FC Tokyo only having one.

A comparison of fouls committed by both teams, Shonan Bellmare with 13 and FC Tokyo with 7, significantly underscores the aggressive approach of Shonan Bellmare and adds to their attempted but unfruitful aggression in terms of not being able to secure a goal.

In summary, the outcome of this match tilted towards FC Tokyo mainly due to their successful utilitarian approach that prioritized scoring over possession, coupled with their stable defensive performance. Shonan Bellmare’s lack of precise attacks, despite their numerous opportunities clearly indicated by the higher corner kicks, directly led to their defeat in this match.
