Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. FC Tōkyō host Shonan Bellmare — let the battle begin!
- 5' 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 Shuto Machino suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' FC Tōkyō are deployed in a 4-1-2-3 today, looking to exploit space against Shonan Bellmare's 3-1-4-2 shape.
- 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 20' Shonan Bellmare fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 25' Daiki Sugioka has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 18 cards already picked up this season.
- 28' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Ryota Nagaki.
- 30' Teruhito Nakagawa adds to his 0 season tally! FC Tokyo lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
- 31' Teruhito Nakagawa doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 36' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 41' Shonan Bellmare is showing some good football. However, Shonan Bellmare are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 46' A tactical swap from Shonan Bellmare — Kohei Okuno on, Ryota Nagaki off on 46 minutes.
- 51' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 53' It’s gonna be a card for Koki Tachi.
- 54' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Koki Tachi.
- 55' Daiki Sugioka has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 55 minutes.
- 59' A goal from the Norway international Tarik Elyounoussi! He fires home on 59 to make it 0-4!
- 63' The crowd applauds Keigo Higashi as he leaves the pitch. Shuto Abe steps in for FC Tokyo.
- 64' Poor challenge from Daiki Sugioka. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 65' What composure from Henrique Trevisan! The Brazil international strokes it home. 0-5.
- 70' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Tōkyō and Shonan Bellmare are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 75' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shonan Bellmare that had 418 games and scored 315 goals.
- 80' Hirokazu Ishihara is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Shonan Bellmare so far.
- 81' Naoki Yamada is replacing Tarik Elyounoussi for the Shonan Bellmare side.
- 86' Akito Suzuki is replacing Hiroyuki Abe for the Shonan Bellmare side.
- 90' The Shonan Bellmare manager makes a substitution. Hirokazu Ishihara departs to be replaced by Takuya Okamoto.
- The points are shared — FC Tōkyō 2-2 Shonan Bellmare. Honours even.
