Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: V-Varen Nagasaki gets underway.
- 5' V-Varen Nagasaki is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yuzuru Shimada, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' 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.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. V-Varen Nagasaki is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 30' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 35' V-Varen Nagasaki 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.
- 40' It looks surprising FC Tōkyō does not make any changes. Takashi Sawada has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 45' The travelling V-Varen Nagasaki supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daiki Niwa made 437 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 55' It’s high time Takuya Takagi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 60' Masato Morishige has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 65' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. V-Varen Nagasaki needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 70' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering V-Varen Nagasaki that had 188 games and scored 49 goals.
- 75' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 80' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 85' 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 Yusuke Maeda suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' Yojiro Takahagi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- Another three points for V-Varen Nagasaki.
