Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Avispa Fukuoka gets underway.
  • 5' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-2-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Shogo Asada, as he is very good at scoring at Best Denki Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' Avispa Fukuoka have won 210 goals from 200 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 35' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 36' Kosuke Kinoshita was booked on 36.
  • 41' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Avispa Fukuoka side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 46' Fresh legs for Kyoto Sanga FC! Kazunari Ichimi comes on to replace Fuki Yamada.

  • 61' Kosuke Shirai has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 65' Reiju Tsuruno has so much to prove this time. He replaces Takeshi Kanamori on 65 minute.
  • 70' 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.
