Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. FC Tokyo host Vegalta Sendai — let the battle begin!
  • 5' FC Tokyo are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Vegalta Sendai backline.
  • 10' Masato Morishige has been relatively quiet despite scoring 16 goals in his last 450 appearances.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Vegalta Sendai is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' Over 30 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 35' It looks surprising FC Tokyo does not make any changes. Kunimitsu Sekiguchi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' 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 Sei Muroya suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kenta Hasegawa might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 50' FC Tokyo 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.
  • 55' Jakub Slowik has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 60' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Tokyo in their trying to find a way past Vegalta Sendai's compact .
  • 61' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jakub Slowik.
  • 62' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Diego Oliveira makes it 1-0.
  • 67' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tokyo that had 450 games and scored 428 goals.
  • 70' Shun Nagasawa gets the nod from Vegalta Sendai. He replaces Naoki Ishihara and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 71' Time for substitution for FC Tokyo. Kensuke Nagai is replaced by Jael.
  • 76' 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.
  • 78' Shogo Nakahara gets the nod from Vegalta Sendai. He replaces Shingo Tomita and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 80' That is a Yellow card for Vegalta Sendai. Shogo Nakahara will be fuming at that decision.
  • 82' FC Tokyo ring the changes. Hirotaka Mita has done his job and it is now time for Kotaro Omori to step up.
  • 83' The supporters are chanting for Ryang Yong Gi. He replaces Kunimitsu Sekiguchi on 83 minute.
  • 85' Ryang Yong Gi is replacing Kunimitsu Sekiguchi for the Vegalta Sendai side.
  • 86' FC Tokyo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Na Sangho is hanging Diego Oliveira on the field on 86 minute.
  • 87' The referee shows Vegalta Sendai player a Yellow card on 87.
  • 88' Poor challenge from Ramon Lopes. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
