- 7' A meaty challenge results in booking for Teppei Oka on 7.
- 12' 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 Taishi Nozawa suffering a number of foals already.
- 17' 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.
- 22' Shinnosuke Nakatani has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 27' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 32' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Tokyo is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
