Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between FC Machida Zelvia and Tokyo Verdy is underway.
  • 5' Ibrahim Dresevic has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Tokyo Verdy winning 50% of all matches.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Machida Zelvia and Tokyo Verdy are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 20' Rei Hirakawa is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Machida Zelvia tonight.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Tokyo Verdy is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' Tokyo Verdy has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 40' FC Machida Zelvia are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 45' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Tokyo Verdy — Yuya Fukuda on, Issei Kumatoriya off on 46 minutes.
  • 51' 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 Naoki Hayashi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Go Kuroda will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 61' Tokyo Verdy come into this ranked 8 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 63' That looks like a foul for a card for Yosuke Uchida.
  • 66' A tactical swap from Tokyo Verdy — Yuta Arai on, Yuan Matsuhashi off on 66 minutes.
  • 71' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 76' Shota Fujio has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tete Yengi on 76 minute.
  • 77' Time for substitution for Tokyo Verdy. Yosuke Uchida is replaced by Ryota Inoue.
  • 82' FC Machida Zelvia have won 116 goals from 94 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 86' A tactical swap from FC Machida Zelvia — Hokuto Shimoda on, Ryohei Shirasaki off on 86 minutes.
  • 90' Another change for Tokyo Verdy made on 90 minute. Koki Morita leaves to be changed by Rei Hirakawa.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for FC Machida Zelvia players.
