Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Avispa Fukuoka kicks off things out of here…
5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
9' The referee shows Avispa Fukuoka player a card on 9.
14' It looks surprising FC Tōkyō does not make any changes. Masaya Tashiro has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
19' It’s high time Rikizo Matsuhashi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
24' Avispa Fukuoka is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
29' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Avispa Fukuoka that had 200 games and scored 210 goals.
34' 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 Masaaki Murakami suffering a number of foals already.
39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kazuya Konno made 437 appearances and scored 17 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
41' Marcelo Ryan puts FC Tokyo on the lead.
45' The referee shows Avispa Fukuoka player a card on 45.
46' Another change for Avispa Fukuoka made on 46 minute. Takaaki Shichi leaves to be changed by Kazuki Fujimoto.
51' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
55' Another substitution for Avispa Fukuoka to replace Nassim Ben Khalifa by Shahab Zahedi Tabar on 55 minute.
60' It looks like no one’s ball. Avispa Fukuoka is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
65' Avispa Fukuoka is showing some good football. However, Avispa Fukuoka are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
66' The whistle greets Keigo Higashi as he departs to be replaced by Kento Hashimoto.
71' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
75' The FC Tokyo manager makes a substitution. Marcelo Ryan departs to be replaced by Teruhito Nakagawa.
76' Another change for Avispa Fukuoka made on 76 minute. Shintaro Nago leaves to be changed by Kazuya Konno.
81' 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.
83' It is a substitution in Avispa Fukuoka team. Itsuki Oda is replaced by Masato Yuzawa on 83 minute.
86' FC Tokyo player sees a card in front of him.
89' The referee calls foul for Soma Anzai. He receives a card.
The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Avispa Fukuoka.
