Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. FC Tōkyō get us underway at Ajinomoto Stadium.
5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Tōkyō needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
12' Assisted by Ryotaro Araki with the perfectly-timed delivery and Teruhito Nakagawa makes no mistake. 0-1!
17' Soma Anzai has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 5 goals this season.
22' Henrique Trevisan is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Tōkyō so far.
27' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kanta Doi made 450 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
32' FC Tōkyō is showing some good football. However, FC Tōkyō are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
42' Takahiro Ko has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 42 minutes.
46' Another substitution for Cerezo Osaka FC to replace Sota Kitano by Masaya Shibayama on 46 minute.
51' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ryosuke Shindo is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Tōkyō.
56' FC Tōkyō have won 428 goals from 450 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
61' 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.
63' FC Tokyo make a change. Diego Oliveira trudges off to be replaced by Kota Tawaratsumida on 63 minutes.
64' Time for substitution for Cerezo Osaka FC. Capixaba is replaced by Kyohei Noborizato.
69' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
71' It is a substitution in FC Tokyo team. Teruhito Nakagawa is replaced by Keita Yamashita on 71 minute.
72' Fresh legs for FC Tokyo! Kei Koizumi comes on to replace Keigo Higashi.
77' FC Tōkyō are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Cerezo Osaka FC backline.
82' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FC Tōkyō and Cerezo Osaka FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
87' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Tōkyō is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
88' Magnificent from Henrique Trevisan! That is 6 goals in 249 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
90' Cerezo Osaka FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryogo Yamasaki is hanging Hirotaka Tameda on the field on 90 minute.
The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from FC Tōkyō to claim maximum points.
