Nagoya grabs 8th futsal title in row

Nagoya Oceans remained the only champion in the history of Japan’s futsal league, winning their eighth straight F-League title on Sunday.

Oceans, who started with a one-win advantage in the best-of-three playoff as the top team in the league standings, retained the title with a thrilling 2-0 victory over Shriker Osaka in a 10-minute extra-time session.

After their first match ended in a draw, Shriker won the second 6-5, thereby knotting the playoff at one game apiece and forcing the extra-time session to decide the outcome.

Nagoya’s Kaoru Morioka was named MVP for the second consecutive year and fourth time overall.
