Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Avispa Fukuoka kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Yuji Kitajima suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 15' It’s high time Toru Oniki made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Avispa Fukuoka must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 25' Avispa Fukuoka is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' Kawasaki Frontale are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 35' It is a cagey affair so far. Avispa Fukuoka in their trying to find a way past Kawasaki Frontale's compact .
- 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. Avispa Fukuoka and Kawasaki Frontale are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 43' The referee calls foul for Erison. He receives a card.
- 46' Avispa Fukuoka manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yuto Iwasaki is hanging Reiju Tsuruno on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 54' The whistle greets Yuji Kitajima as he departs to be replaced by Masato Yuzawa.
- 55' Ze Ricardo gets the nod from Kawasaki Frontale. He replaces Yusuke Segawa and will look to change the dynamic.
- 60' Masato Shigemi is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kawasaki Frontale tonight.
- 65' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sai van Wermeskerken made 69 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 70' The crowd applauds Wellington as he leaves the pitch. Shahab Zahedi Tabar steps in for Avispa Fukuoka.
- 75' What a strike from Shin Yamada! The score is 0-1.
- 77' A tactical swap from Kawasaki Frontale — Jesiel on, Sai van Wermeskerken off on 77 minutes.

- 85' The deadlock is broken! Kazuya Konno gets on the scoresheet on 85 minutes.
- 87' The whistle greets Yasuto Wakizaka as he departs to be replaced by Bafetimbi Gomis.
