In a flashback, Rin is challenged by Sae, who criticizes his lack of progression compared to him. Ego addresses the finalists and informs them that the match will be held in three week's time. He then names the top six players: Rin, Shido, Tabito Karasu, Eita Otoya, Kenyu Yukimiya, and Nagi. He explains that three teams will be formed based on a pair of the six and the choosing of the remaining finalists. In a rotational match format, three players will join a pair once and face another group in a test to find who can synergize the most effectively with them; as the runner-up, Bachira will play twice. This will determine spots for the final team. Initially, Isagi has difficulty choosing who he will play with, deciding between what he knows and what he could learn; after chatting with Bachira, Barou, Niko, and Reo, he chooses to play with Rin and Shido, as does Bachira. At the same time, Rin and Shido clash over an intense mutual dislike. Angered by the match, the JFU resolve to crush Blue Lock no matter what; U20 team captain Oliver Aiku accepts the challenge.

In the first match, Rin and Shido are joined by Nijiro Nanase, Yo Hiori, and Isagi, facing Karasu, Otoya, Shiguma Kyohei, Saramadara Kairu, and Chigiri. At kick off, Shido is guarded and passes to Isagi, who gives it to Rin. Chigiri intercepts them but Shido steals the ball and scores the first goal. In the next play, Karasu, having analyzed his opponents, takes the ball and scores his team's first point. Next play, Karasu is cornered and passes to Otoya, who sneaks behind everyone and takes the ball to score. Rin, in the next play, ignores everyone to curve a shot for a second point. The rest of the players realize they must assert themselves to the top four. Chigiri shows his speed to an impressed Karasu, who passes to him; he evades Rin to pass it to Otoya for a third point. In the next play, Hiori passes to Rin but Shido collides with him; Chigiri takes the loose ball and passes it to Otoya, who gives it to Karasu for a fourth goal. Isagi, watching Shido and Rin fight, realizes he can use their incompatibility to his advantage.
