  • 55' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Kento Hashimoto on 55 minutes.
  • 60' FC Tōkyō 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.

  • 66' Cerezo Osaka FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against FC Tōkyō's shape.
  • 71' Shinji Kagawa is ready to make an impact after coming on for Motohiko Nakajima at the 71 minute mark.

  • 77' Yuto Nagatomo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 77.
  • 78' Cerezo Osaka FC ring the changes. Thiago Andrade has done his job and it is now time for Reiya Sakata to step up.
  • 82' FC Tokyo make a change. Teruhito Nakagawa trudges off to be replaced by Leon Nozawa on 82 minutes.
  • 86' Cerezo Osaka FC ring the changes. Sota Kitano has done his job and it is now time for Vitor Bueno to step up.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
