Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. FC Tokyo kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 9' Avispa Fukuoka receives a card for a hard tackle on 9.
- 14' 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.
- 19' 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 Takaaki Shichi suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' 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.
- 29' It looks like no one’s ball. Avispa Fukuoka is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 34' The travelling Avispa Fukuoka supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tokyo that had 415 games and scored 375 goals.

- 66' FC Tokyo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kento Hashimoto is hanging Keigo Higashi on the field on 66 minute.
- 71' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kein Sato made 403 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
