Match Events
- 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between Avispa Fukuoka and FC Tōkyō.
- 3' Daiki Miya doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 8' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 13' Avispa Fukuoka currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 18' Both keepers have barely been tested. Avispa Fukuoka and FC Tōkyō are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 23' The 37-year-old Kensuke Nagai has been sensational this season — 2 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 24' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Kuryu Matsuki makes no mistake. 1-1!
- 28' Juanma catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 28.
- 29' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Jordy Croux on 29 minutes.
- 30' The referee calls foul for Tatsuki Nara. He receives a Yellow card.
- 31' Avispa Fukuoka player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 36' It looks like no one’s ball. Avispa Fukuoka is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 39' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Yuya Yamagishi makes no mistake. 2-1!
- 40' A goal from the Japan international Yuya Yamagishi! He fires home on 40 to make it 3-1!
- 45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Shigetoshi Hasebe will be considering his options from the bench.
- 46' Another substitution for Avispa Fukuoka to replace Juanma by Lukian on 46 minute.
- 48' Lukian adds to his 0 season tally! Avispa Fukuoka lead 4-1 — and this changes everything.
- 53' Yuto Nagatomo is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Tōkyō so far.
- 55' Another change for FC Tokyo made on 55 minute. Kuryu Matsuki leaves to be changed by Kensuke Nagai.
- 60' Poland international Jakub Slowik has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 62' Magnificent from Yuya Yamagishi! That is 41 goals in 200 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 65' Leandro makes way for Keita Yamashita at the 65 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Tokyo.
- 70' 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 Shun Nakamura suffering a number of foals already.
- 71' Jordy Croux makes way for Takeshi Kanamori at the 71 minute mark. A tactical switch from Avispa Fukuoka.

- 77' Another substitution for FC Tokyo to replace Yuto Nagatomo by Hotaka Nakamura on 77 minute.
- 82' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tōkyō that had 437 games and scored 396 goals.
- 83' Avispa Fukuoka manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sotan Tanabe is hanging Yuya Yamagishi on the field on 83 minute.
- 88' Diego Oliveira has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 90' FC Tokyo receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
- 90' The Avispa Fukuoka bench stirs into life. Yota Maejima is withdrawn and Masato Yuzawa gets his opportunity.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Avispa Fukuoka to claim maximum points.
