- 0' And we are off! Albirex Niigata vs Tokyo Verdy — let the football do the talking.
- 5' It’s gonna be a card for Hijiri Onaga.
- 10' A quiet spell here at Denka Big Swan Stadium. Albirex Niigata seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 12' Yudai Kimura has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 12.
- 17' Tokyo Verdy are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 22' The 29-year-old Kosuke Saito has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 27' Tomoya Miki, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 32' The travelling Tokyo Verdy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 37' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Goki Yamada made 95 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 42' Both keepers have barely been tested. Albirex Niigata and Tokyo Verdy are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 47' Tokyo Verdy 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.
- 49' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Goki Yamada makes no mistake. 0-1!
- 54' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Albirex Niigata side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 59' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Albirex Niigata and Tokyo Verdy are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 60' Itsuki Someno has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yudai Kimura on 60 minute.
- 63' Albirex Niigata manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hiroki Akiyama is hanging Eiji Miyamoto on the field on 63 minute.
- 68' Jin Okumura is replacing Yota Komi for the Albirex Niigata side.
- 73' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 76' The whistle greets Hijiri Onaga as he departs to be replaced by Yuan Matsuhashi.
- 80' Thomas Deng picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 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 Hiroto Taniguchi suffering a number of foals already.
- 87' Hiroto Taniguchi adds to his 0 season tally! Tokyo Verdy lead 0-2 — and this changes everything.
- 89' Fresh legs for Tokyo Verdy! Tetsuyuki Inami comes on to replace Kosuke Saito.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Tokyo Verdy to claim maximum points.
