Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against FC Tōkyō and Tokyo Verdy has kicked off!
  • 5' Tokyo Verdy is showing some good football. However, Tokyo Verdy are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' Keita Endo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Tokyo Verdy that had 95 games and scored 82 goals.
  • 20' It’s high time Rikizo Matsuhashi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 21' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kento Hashimoto on 21.
  • 26' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 29' Tokyo Verdy is taking the lead after the goal scored by Koki Morita on 29.
  • 34' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryota Inoue made 95 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 41' Goal! Sei Muroya scores his 7 goal in 437 matches.
  • 46' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Tokyo Verdy winning 50% of all matches.
  • 51' FC Tōkyō started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' FC Tokyo player sees a card in front of him.
  • 61' It looks like no one’s ball. Tokyo Verdy is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 66' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marcelo Ryan, as he is very good at scoring at Ajinomoto Stadium with 7 goals in the last 5 games.
  • 71' 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 Alexander Scholz suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 76 minutes.
  • 79' The referee calls foul for Alexander Scholz. He receives a card.
  • 84' 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.
  • 89' It looks surprising Tokyo Verdy does not make any changes. Yuya Nagasawa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • The final score is 2-1.
