Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Albirex Niigata kicks off things out of here…
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' With 1 assists to his name this season, Tomoki Takamine is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Kashiwa Reysol.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashiwa Reysol that had 423 games and scored 372 goals.
- 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Albirex Niigata and Kashiwa Reysol are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 25' The travelling Kashiwa Reysol supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 33' Mao Hosoya catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 33.
- 38' A quiet spell here at Denka Big Swan Stadium. Albirex Niigata seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 43' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 45' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Tomoki Takamine on 45 minutes.
- 49' Albirex Niigata ring the changes. Yuji Hoshi has done his job and it is now time for Yuzuru Shimada to step up.
- 50' A moment of madness from Yugo Tatsuta on 50 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Kashiwa Reysol will be frustrated.
- 55' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Soya Fujiwara.
- 60' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Yuki Muto suffering a number of foals already.
- 65' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 70' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Nelsinho will be considering his options from the bench.
- 74' The whistle greets Mao Hosoya as he departs to be replaced by Yuki Muto.
- 76' Yuto Horigome catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 76.
- 81' Both keepers have barely been tested. Albirex Niigata and Kashiwa Reysol are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 83' Fresh legs for Kashiwa Reysol! Kota Yamada comes on to replace Tomoya Koyamatsu.
- 85' Kashiwa Reysol receives a card for a hard tackle on 85.
- 86' That is a Yellow card for Kashiwa Reysol. Yuki Muto will be fuming at that decision.
- The points are shared — Albirex Niigata 0-0 Kashiwa Reysol. Honours even.
