Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for FC Machida Zelvia to score. At the same time, Kashiwa Reysol does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Machida Zelvia that had 94 games and scored 116 goals.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Nobuteru Nakagawa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 20' 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 Mao Hosoya suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' FC Machida Zelvia 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.
- 30' FC Machida Zelvia looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Sang-ho Na scoring 1 goals.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Taiyo Koga made 411 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' It looks surprising FC Machida Zelvia does not make any changes. Erik has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' Tojiro Kubo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 46' Time for substitution for Kashiwa Reysol. Hiromu Mitsumaru is replaced by Daiki Sugioka.
- 51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 56' It looks like no one’s ball. Kashiwa Reysol is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 61' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 66' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Machida Zelvia needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 67' Another substitution for Kashiwa Reysol to replace Yusuke Segawa by Hayato Nakama on 67 minute.
- 68' Yuki Kakita has so much to prove this time. He replaces Mao Hosoya on 68 minute.
- 73' FC Machida Zelvia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 75' GOAL! Sang-ho Na scores on 75.
- 78' Another change for Kashiwa Reysol made on 78 minute. Sachiro Toshima leaves to be changed by Koya Yuruki.
- 83' 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.
- 88' 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.
- 89' The FC Machida Zelvia manager makes a substitution. Sang-ho Na departs to be replaced by Keiya Sento.
- With this win, FC Machida Zelvia is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
