Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Avispa Fukuoka kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It’s high time Myung-Hwi Kim made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Itsuki Someno made 447 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Tokyo Verdy that had 95 games and scored 82 goals.
- 25' 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.
- 30' Tokyo Verdy is showing some good football. However, Tokyo Verdy are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 32' Avispa Fukuoka receives a card for a hard tackle on 32.
- 37' 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 Kosuke Saito suffering a number of foals already.
- 42' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 46' The Avispa Fukuoka manager makes a substitution. Masato Yuzawa departs to be replaced by Yu Hashimoto.
- 51' Tokyo Verdy started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
- 56' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 61' Itsuki Someno has so much to prove this time. He replaces Hiroto Yamami on 61 minute.
- 63' The Avispa Fukuoka manager makes a substitution. Yuto Iwasaki departs to be replaced by Wellington.
- 64' Avispa Fukuoka receives a card for a hard tackle on 64.
- 69' Yota Maejima has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 70' The supporters are chanting for Takeshi Kanamori. He replaces Kazuya Konno on 70 minute.
- 75' The travelling Tokyo Verdy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 80' Tokyo Verdy is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 81' It’s gonna be a card for Shintaro Nago.
- 82' Hiroki Akino is replacing Masato Shigemi for the Avispa Fukuoka side.
- 87' 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.
- 89' The whistle greets Yuta Arai as he departs to be replaced by Issei Kumatoriya.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
