20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
30' Yasuki Kimoto needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
35' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Tōkyō in their trying to find a way past Sanfrecce Hiroshima's compact .
40' The travelling Sanfrecce Hiroshima supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
45' Sanfrecce Hiroshima fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
46' A change in the FC Tokyo ranks — Henrique Trevisan exits the field as Hirotaka Mita enters on 46.
49' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Hirotaka Mita.
54' FC Tōkyō are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Sanfrecce Hiroshima backline.

74' Shun Ayukawa doubles the advantage! 0-3 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
79' 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 Tsukasa Shiotani suffering a number of foals already.
80' FC Tokyo ring the changes. Adailton has done his job and it is now time for Keigo Higashi to step up.
82' The Sanfrecce Hiroshima bench stirs into life. Yuki Nogami is withdrawn and Toshihiro Aoyama gets his opportunity.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima will have plenty to reflect on. FC Tōkyō were simply the better side today.
