Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Ajinomoto Stadium!
5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kenta Hasegawa might look to freshen things up shortly.
8' Akihiro Ienaga does the damage! The net is bulging and Kawasaki Frontale surge ahead!
13' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
17' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Akihiro Ienaga makes it 0-2.
22' Joao Schmidt has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 324 appearances.
23' GOAL! Kaoru Mitoma scores on 23.
28' Tatsuya Hasegawa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
33' 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 Jesiel suffering a number of foals already.
38' Shogo Taniguchi is a natural defender and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kawasaki Frontale tonight.
43' Kawasaki Frontale are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
46' Adailton gets the nod from FC Tokyo. He replaces Shuto Abe and will look to change the dynamic.
51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
56' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
59' GOAL! Adailton scores on 59.
61' What a moment for Kaoru Mitoma! That strike on 61 puts his side firmly in control.
63' FC Tokyo make a change. Kensuke Nagai trudges off to be replaced by Kyosuke Tagawa on 63 minutes.
64' A change in the FC Tokyo ranks — Hirotaka Mita exits the field as Yojiro Takahagi enters on 64.
69' Kento Tachibanada has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
70' Another substitution for Kawasaki Frontale to replace Daiya Tono by Yasuto Wakizaka on 70 minute.
74' Keigo Higashi catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 74.
75' Goal! Leandro Damiao scores his 74 goal in 333 matches.
79' The supporters are chanting for Arthur. He replaces Keigo Higashi on 79 minute.
84' GOAL! Takuya Uchida scores on 84. Assisted by Yojiro Takahagi
84' Fresh legs for Kawasaki Frontale! Tatsuya Hasegawa comes on to replace Kaoru Mitoma.
85' Fresh legs for Kawasaki Frontale! Yu Kobayashi comes on to replace Leandro Damiao.
90' Ao Tanaka makes way for Kento Tachibanada at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kawasaki Frontale.
It finishes all square. FC Tōkyō and Kawasaki Frontale share the spoils 2-4.
