Edo All United took control of a one-sided first half and held on for a 5-2 win at Nihon University in the Japan Regional League. The away side raced into a three-goal lead inside 40 minutes, and although Nihon twice reduced the deficit, Edo always had an answer.
Edo were ahead from the 29th minute and made it 2-0 on 33 before adding a third on 40. Nihon pulled one back after the restart on 48, but Edo restored their three-goal cushion on 58. Nihon again replied through a goal on 70, and Edo settled it with a fifth on 89.
The statistics show an even contest in terms of possession, with 51% for Edo and 49% for Nihon, and no corners or offsides for either side. That makes Edo's victory a story of taking chances rather than domination, and the bookings pattern — four yellows across the match — reflected a scrappy edge rather than a fluent game.
