FC Tokyo right back Sei Muroya may be bound for Germany, but he made sure not to make manager Kenta Hasegawa regret sending him out for one last shift.
In his final J. League appearance before leaving for second-division Hannover, The Samurai Blue defender played a key role in Tokyo’s opening goal against Nagoya Grampus, helping the capital club finish on top 1-0 in a sweltering night at Ajinomoto Stadium.
“I thought it’d be this sort of game heading in,” Grampus manager Massimo Ficcadenti said. “We gave up the ball in places we shouldn’t have, and that led to their goal.”
