The game had just entered the second minute here, and yet, they were already at the second kickoff here. This sudden goal really caught everyone off guard, as no one really expected that Hakodate Nishi could pull this up out of nothing.
They knew Hakodate Nishi had a reputation with their blitz attack. However, that was when the team had the kickoff ball. Now, this really destroyed their perspective, enough to make all the Esashi players wary about another blitz attack from coming the second time in a row. That was why they finally made a decision here, to slow down first and let the team settle the tempo.
Well, Hakodate Nishi players didn't have any problem with that. If anything, they were happy with the slow-paced game, as they had already gotten one goal here. Even though the game had just started, and it was no use to waste time in this scenario, the pace meant they wouldn't get that much of a threat from the opponent's side, and that was definitely the best-case scenario.
