Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Yanmar Stadium Nagai!
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cerezo Osaka FC that had 369 games and scored 396 goals.
- 10' Takeru Kishimoto has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 15' What a moment for Taisei Miyashiro! That strike on 15 puts his side firmly in control.
- 20' A quiet spell here at Yanmar Stadium Nagai. Cerezo Osaka FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 25' Cerezo Osaka FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' Tokushima Vortis 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.
- 34' Against the run of play, Ryosuke Shindo has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 39' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 44' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Cerezo Osaka FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 46' Kato Mutsuki is replacing Yoshito Okubo for the Cerezo Osaka FC side.
- 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Daniel Poyatos Algaba will be considering his options from the bench.
- 56' 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.
- 61' It is a substitution in Tokushima Vortis team. Shiryu Fujiwara is replaced by Koki Sugimori on 61 minute.
- 66' Another change for Cerezo Osaka FC made on 66 minute. Hiroshi Kiyotake leaves to be changed by Taishi Matsumoto.
- 71' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 75' Tokuma Suzuki is ready to make an impact after coming on for Joel Fujita at the 75 minute mark.
- 80' 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 Yusuke Maruhashi suffering a number of foals already.
- 82' Riki Matsuda is replacing Yuta Toyokawa for the Cerezo Osaka FC side.
- 87' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 90' Ryuya Nishio adds to his 0 season tally! Cerezo Osaka FC lead 2-1 — and this changes everything.
- The final score is 1-2.
