Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Yanmar Stadium Nagai that hosts another battle between Cerezo Osaka FC and FC Tokyo.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' 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 Go Hatano suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Cerezo Osaka FC and FC Tokyo are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Cerezo Osaka FC.
  • 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 30' It looks surprising FC Tokyo does not make any changes. Hiroshi Kiyotake has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 57' The FC Tokyo bench stirs into life. Kensuke Nagai is withdrawn and Takuya Uchida gets his opportunity.
  • 62' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cerezo Osaka FC that had 374 games and scored 399 goals.
  • 67' Sei Muroya, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 72' FC Tokyo come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
