Events
Match Events

- 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Tōkyō and Sanfrecce Hiroshima are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 18' It’s a booking for FC Tokyo player. Keita Endo gets a card.
- 23' Sanfrecce Hiroshima are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

- 48' Shuto Nakano has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 335 appearances.
