5' Kyoto Sanga FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
10' 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.
15' 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.
20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yota Maejima, as he is very good at scoring at Best Denki Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.

28' Kyoto Sanga FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Papagaio on 28.

35' Avispa Fukuoka receives a card for a hard tackle on 35.
36' A meaty challenge results in booking for Tomoya Miki on 36.

60' The travelling Kyoto Sanga FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

85' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 85 minutes.
90' Shinya Tsukahara is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
