{However there's no change in the formation of Karasuno elementary school as they are playing in the same 4-3-2-1 formation as they did previously with Shoyo acting as their sole forward.}

The game kicked off with Hiro's pass to Sato. And as soon as he got the ball, Sato began to press forward. Shoyo quickly caught up to him making use of his explosive pace.

Due to the hyper pressing strategy of Karasuno elementary school, the players of Ookami elementary school started to make mistakes as they started to miss pass the ball.
