Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. FC Tōkyō kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Ryota Kuboniwa suffering a number of foals already.
- 6' JEF United Ichihara Chiba is taking the lead after the goal scored by Carlinhos on 6.
- 11' The travelling JEF United Ichihara Chiba supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

- 18' It’s a booking for FC Tokyo player. Rio Omori gets a card.
- 23' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with JEF United Ichihara Chiba winning 50% of all matches.
- 28' Supporters expect more eagerness from Sei Muroya, as he is very good at scoring at Ajinomoto Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 33' 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.
- 38' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 43' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

- 51' JEF United Ichihara Chiba receives a card for a hard tackle on 51.
- 56' It’s high time Rikizo Matsuhashi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 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.
- 66' Seung-Gyu Kim needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.

- 79' Goal! Masaru Hidaka scores his 2 goal in 18 matches.
- 84' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering JEF United Ichihara Chiba that had 18 games and scored 12 goals.
