With their new kits acquired, the Warabis play their first official match against the Asuka Trade women's team. However, Nozomi gets too excited during the days leading up to the match, and plays while sleep-deprived, accidentally scoring the game-winning goal for Asuka with a diving header on her own team's net. Naoko punishes Nozomi by banishing her to the bench for the next game. The next day, Naoko gets Goro to bargain with the boys soccer coach to borrow a few boys for an intra-squad scrimmage, to help the Warabis practice against a physical opponent. During practice, Naoko and Goro argue over coaching styles, while Nozomi practices on a goal despite being benched for the next game.
