Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Denka Big Swan Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Taiga Hata made 418 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' 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 Michael Fitzgerald suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Albirex Niigata seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 20' GOAL! Luiz Phellype scores on 20. Assisted by Taiga Hata
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' Shonan Bellmare is showing some good football. However, Shonan Bellmare are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 31' What a strike from Kaito Taniguchi! The score is 1-1.
  • 36' It’s high time Satoshi Yamaguchi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 41' Albirex Niigata started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 41.
  • 46' 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.
  • 51' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 56' Yutaro Oda has so much to prove this time. He replaces Luiz Phellype on 56 minute.
  • 61' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 66' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Albirex Niigata that had 110 games and scored 119 goals.
  • 71' Yota Komi puts Albirex Niigata on the lead.
  • 76' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 80' The supporters are chanting for Danilo. He replaces Jin Okumura on 80 minute.
  • 81' Shonan Bellmare manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Akimi Barada is hanging Taiyo Hiraoka on the field on 81 minute.
  • 83' Keisuke Kasai has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kaito Taniguchi on 83 minute.
  • 88' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yutaro Oda, as he is very good at scoring at Denka Big Swan Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 89' Another substitution for Albirex Niigata to replace Yota Komi by Ken Yamura on 89 minute.
  • 90' The whistle greets Masaki Ikeda as he departs to be replaced by Ryo Nemoto.
  • Another three points for Albirex Niigata.
