- 15' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 17' Shuto Abe was booked on 17.
- 18' Another change for FC Tokyo made on 18 minute. Kosuke Shirai leaves to be changed by Kashif Bangunagande.
- 23' 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.

- 60' 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 Welton suffering a number of foals already.
