Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for FC Tōkyō to score. At the same time, Kawasaki Frontale does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' Kento Hashimoto has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kawasaki Frontale that had 439 games and scored 556 goals.
15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
20' Kawasaki Frontale 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.
25' 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.
30' 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.
35' 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.
40' Supporters expect more eagerness from Leon Nozawa, as he is very good at scoring at Ajinomoto Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
41' Kein Sato puts FC Tokyo on the lead.
46' Kawasaki Frontale is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
51' Kawasaki Frontale started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
56' GOAL! Leon Nozawa scores on 56. Assisted by Teruhito Nakagawa
61' The travelling Kawasaki Frontale supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
66' The referee shows Kawasaki Frontale player a card on 66.
71' FC Tōkyō looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Leon Nozawa scoring 1 goals.
76' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
81' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ten Miyagi made 439 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
86' 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' It’s a booking for FC Tokyo player. Marcelo Ryan gets a card.
Full Time. FC Tōkyō beats Kawasaki Frontale
