  • 5' Kosuke Shirai has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Fagiano Okayama FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 24' Avispa Fukuoka player sees a card in front of him.
  • 27' Fagiano Okayama FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Kosuke Shirai on 27.

  • 46' Another change for Avispa Fukuoka made on 46 minute. Kaoru Yamawaki leaves to be changed by Tomoya Miki.
  • 51' 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 Daichi Tagami suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' It looks like no one’s ball. Fagiano Okayama FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
