Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Denka Big Swan Stadium!
- 5' Hijiri Onaga has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 5.
- 10' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 12' The referee shows Tokyo Verdy player a card on 12.
- 17' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kosuke Saito, as he is very good at scoring at Denka Big Swan Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 22' The home supporters are growing impatient. Albirex Niigata must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 27' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 32' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 37' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Hiroshi Jofuku will be considering his options from the bench.
- 42' Yuto Tsunashima has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 95 appearances.
- 47' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 49' Goal! Goki Yamada scores his 1 goal in 95 matches.
- 54' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 59' Over 59 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 60' A tactical swap from Tokyo Verdy — Itsuki Someno on, Yudai Kimura off on 60 minutes.
- 63' Another substitution for Albirex Niigata to replace Eiji Miyamoto by Hiroki Akiyama on 63 minute.
- 68' Albirex Niigata manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jin Okumura is hanging Yota Komi on the field on 68 minute.
- 73' The energy levels are beginning to show. Rikizo Matsuhashi might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 76' Tokyo Verdy ring the changes. Hijiri Onaga has done his job and it is now time for Yuan Matsuhashi to step up.
- 80' The referee calls foul for Thomas Deng. He receives a card.
- 85' 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 Soya Fujiwara suffering a number of foals already.
- 87' GOAL! Hiroto Taniguchi scores on 87.
- 89' A change in the Tokyo Verdy ranks — Kosuke Saito exits the field as Tetsuyuki Inami enters on 89.
