Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Cerezo Osaka FC vs FC Tōkyō — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' The 31-year-old Shuhei Tokumoto has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 8' The deadlock is broken! Kuryu Matsuki gets on the scoresheet on 8 minutes.
  • 13' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 18' Cerezo Osaka FC are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against FC Tōkyō's 4-2-1-3 shape.
  • 21' A tactical swap from FC Tokyo — Perotti on, Diego Oliveira off on 21 minutes.
  • 26' FC Tōkyō have won 428 goals from 450 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 31' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Cerezo Osaka FC and FC Tōkyō are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 36' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cerezo Osaka FC that had 382 games and scored 410 goals.
  • 41' Perotti is having his name booked by the referee on 41.
  • 46' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ryosuke Shindo is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Tōkyō.
  • 47' A moment of madness from Hinata Kida on 47 minutes earns him a card. Cerezo Osaka FC will be frustrated.
  • 50' A tactical swap from FC Tokyo — Koki Tsukagawa on, Kei Koizumi off on 50 minutes.
  • 55' Cerezo Osaka FC 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.
  • 60' Japan international Ryoma Watanabe has been a key figure this campaign — 3 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 65' Henrique Trevisan was booked on 65.
  • 68' A tactical swap from Cerezo Osaka FC — Masaya Shibayama on, Jordy Croux off on 68 minutes.
  • 73' Kakeru Funaki is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Tōkyō tonight.
  • 78' A tactical swap from FC Tokyo — Shuhei Tokumoto on, Kota Tawaratsumida off on 78 minutes.
  • 79' Fresh legs for FC Tokyo! Yasuki Kimoto comes on to replace Keigo Higashi.
  • 84' 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 Henrique Trevisan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 89' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 90' A moment of madness from Jaja Silva on 90 minutes earns him a card. FC Tokyo will be frustrated.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 0-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
