Events

Match Events

0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Cerezo Osaka FC is hosting Kawasaki Frontale for another epic battle.
5' Leandro Damiao has been relatively quiet despite scoring 74 goals in his last 330 appearances.
10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Kawasaki Frontale needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
14' The referee calls foul for Jesiel. He receives a Yellow card.
19' 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 Manabu Saito suffering a number of foals already.
24' Argentina international Leandro Desabato has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
29' Yu Kobayashi, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

52' Shintaro Kurumaya has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
57' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 57 minutes.
61' The Kawasaki Frontale manager makes a substitution. Yasuto Wakizaka departs to be replaced by Ryota Ohshima.
62' What a strike from Hiroaki Okuno! The score is 2-0.
63' Ryota Ohshima gets the nod from Kawasaki Frontale. He replaces Yasuto Wakizaka and will look to change the dynamic.
64' It is a substitution in Kawasaki Frontale team. Yasuto Wakizaka is replaced by Ryota Ohshima on 64 minute.
69' Riku Matsuda is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Cerezo Osaka FC tonight.
71' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Ryota Ohshima.
73' Cerezo Osaka FC ring the changes. Bruno Mendes has done his job and it is now time for Shota Fujio to step up.

84' Kaoru Mitoma does the damage! The net is bulging and Kawasaki Frontale surge ahead!
89' Kawasaki Frontale fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
90' A tactical swap from Cerezo Osaka FC — Jun Nishikawa on, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto off on 90 minutes.
