Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Cerezo Osaka FC host Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo — let the battle begin!
- 5' Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo 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.
- 10' Akito Fukumori is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Cerezo Osaka FC tonight.
- 15' Matej Jonjic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 25' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Cerezo Osaka FC and Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 35' Gu Sungyun is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Cerezo Osaka FC so far.
- 40' 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 Toshiyuki Takagi suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 50' Yoichiro Kakitani has been relatively quiet despite scoring 20 goals in his last 382 appearances.
- 55' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 60' The travelling Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 65' 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.
- 70' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Cerezo Osaka FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 75' Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 80' Cerezo Osaka FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 80.
- 85' It looks like no one’s ball. Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 90' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
