Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Avispa Fukuoka vs Cerezo Osaka FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' The home supporters are growing impatient. Avispa Fukuoka must find a spark to ignite this game.

  • 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. Avispa Fukuoka and Cerezo Osaka FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 40' 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 Yu Hashimoto suffering a number of foals already.
  • 41' Goal! Tomoya Miki scores his 11 goal in 95 matches.
  • 46' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Shinji Kagawa made 521 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 51' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 54' What an equalizer from Masaya Shibayama!
  • 56' Avispa Fukuoka ring the changes. Takumi Kamijima has done his job and it is now time for Masato Yuzawa to step up.
  • 61' 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.
  • 63' The Cerezo Osaka FC bench stirs into life. Kyohei Yoshino is withdrawn and Shunta Tanaka gets his opportunity.
  • 64' What composure from Masaya Shibayama! The Japan international strokes it home. 1-2.
  • 66' Fresh legs for Avispa Fukuoka! Kazuya Konno comes on to replace Itsuki Oda.
  • 71' 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.
  • 73' Another change for Cerezo Osaka FC made on 73 minute. Motohiko Nakajima leaves to be changed by Rafael Ratao.
  • 77' Rafael Ratao adds to his 0 season tally! Cerezo Osaka FC lead 1-3 — and this changes everything.
  • 82' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 83' Avispa Fukuoka manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Masaya Tashiro is hanging Yu Hashimoto on the field on 83 minute.
  • 84' Avispa Fukuoka ring the changes. Kazuki Fujimoto has done his job and it is now time for Nassim Ben Khalifa to step up.
  • 89' Rafael Ratao makes no mistake. The score reads 1-4 and Cerezo Osaka FC are in front.
