Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Ajinomoto Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 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 Rei Hirakawa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Daiki Fukazawa, as he is very good at scoring at Ajinomoto Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 15' FC Tōkyō currently sit 2 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 20' Seung-Gyu Kim is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Tōkyō so far.
  • 21' Kento Hashimoto catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 21.
  • 26' Ryunosuke Sato is a natural midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Tōkyō tonight.
  • 29' Magnificent from Koki Morita! That is 2 goals in 95 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 34' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ryota Inoue is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Tokyo Verdy.
  • 39' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 41' Sei Muroya does the damage! The net is bulging and FC Tokyo surge ahead!
  • 46' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 51' Marcelo Ryan needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 7 Yellow cards this season.
  • 56' It’s gonna be a card for Keita Endo.
  • 61' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Tōkyō in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past Tokyo Verdy's compact 3-4-2-1.
  • 66' 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.
  • 71' It looks surprising Tokyo Verdy does not make any changes. Yuto Nagatomo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 76' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tōkyō that had 437 games and scored 396 goals.
  • 79' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Alexander Scholz on 79 minutes.
  • 84' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Tokyo Verdy needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 89' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • FC Tōkyō celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
