Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Tokushima Vortis kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Tokushima Vortis is showing some good football. However, Tokushima Vortis are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 10' Cerezo Osaka FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' Taisei Miyashiro puts Tokushima Vortis on the lead.
- 20' It looks surprising Cerezo Osaka FC does not make any changes. Yuki Kakita has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' Yusuke Maruhashi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Diego made 37 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 34' GOAL! Ryosuke Shindo scores on 34. Assisted by Naoyuki Fujita
- 39' 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 Ryuya Nishio suffering a number of foals already.
- 44' 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.

- 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
- 56' 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.

- 66' It is a substitution in Cerezo Osaka FC team. Hiroshi Kiyotake is replaced by Taishi Matsumoto on 66 minute.
- 71' Tokushima Vortis started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 71.
- 75' Another change for Tokushima Vortis made on 75 minute. Joel Fujita leaves to be changed by Tokuma Suzuki.
