Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Tōkyō Verdy kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hiroshi Jofuku might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' FC Tōkyō currently sit 2 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 21' That looks like a foul for a card for Kento Hashimoto.
  • 26' 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.
  • 29' Koki Morita adds to his 0 season tally! Tokyo Verdy lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 34' Tōkyō Verdy is showing some good football. However, Tōkyō Verdy are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 39' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-2-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 41' A stunning finish from Sei Muroya — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 46' Tōkyō Verdy are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' It’s gonna be a card for Keita Endo.
  • 61' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Tōkyō Verdy needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 66' FC Tōkyō started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 66.
  • 71' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Naoki Hayashi made 457 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 76' Issei Kumatoriya needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 79' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Alexander Scholz on 79 minutes.
  • 84' Japan international Ryota Inoue has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 89' Marcelo Ryan has been relatively quiet despite scoring 31 goals in his last 339 appearances.
  • With this win, FC Tōkyō is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
