Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Denka Big Swan Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Albirex Niigata and Yokohama F.Marinos.
- 5' It is a cagey affair so far. Albirex Niigata in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Yokohama F.Marinos's compact 4-2-1-3.
- 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Albirex Niigata side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 15' Shunsuke Mito has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 25' Albirex Niigata are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 30' Yokohama F.Marinos come into this ranked 2 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kevin Muscat might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 40' The 35-year-old Jun Ichimori has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 45' Joel Fujita doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 46' Brilliant from the midfielder! Joel Fujita makes it 0-2 with a superb finish on 45.
- 47' GOAL! Joel Fujita scores on 45.
- 52' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ryosuke Kojima is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Albirex Niigata.
- 57' Brilliant from the midfielder! Ryotaro Ito makes it 1-3 with a superb finish on 57.
- 58' Koji Suzuki does the damage! The net is bulging and Albirex Niigata surge ahead!

- 73' The whistle greets Shunsuke Mito as he departs to be replaced by Danilo.
- 78' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 83' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
