Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: FC Machida Zelvia gets underway.
- 5' Avispa Fukuoka is showing some good football. However, Avispa Fukuoka are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 9' What a strike from Daihachi Okamura! The score is 0-1.
- 14' Avispa Fukuoka 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.
- 19' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Machida Zelvia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 22' Goal! Tomoya Ando scores his 5 goal in 200 matches.
- 25' It’s a booking for FC Machida Zelvia player. Daihachi Okamura gets a card.
- 30' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Avispa Fukuoka needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 35' 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.
- 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 Daiki Matsuoka suffering a number of foals already.
- 42' The referee calls foul for Tomoya Miki. He receives a card.
- 46' The whistle greets Se-hun Oh as he departs to be replaced by Kanji Kuwayama.

- 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 60' Another substitution for Avispa Fukuoka to replace Yuji Kitajima by Shintaro Nago on 60 minute.
- 65' Kosei Tani puts FC Machida Zelvia on the lead.
