Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Avispa Fukuoka kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 10' Itsuki Oda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kashima Antlers and Avispa Fukuoka are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Hiroyuki Mae, as he is very good at scoring at Kashima Soccer Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' Kashima Antlers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' Tatsuya Tanaka is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Avispa Fukuoka tonight.
  • 35' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 40' Douglas Groli has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 45' Wellington is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Avispa Fukuoka so far.
  • 50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Avispa Fukuoka needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 55' The travelling Avispa Fukuoka supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 60' Kashima Antlers are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 65' With 0 assists to his name this season, Takeshi Kanamori is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Avispa Fukuoka.
  • 70' Over 70 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 75' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 80' Kashima Antlers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 85' 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.
  • 90' 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 Yuta Higuchi suffering a number of foals already.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. take all three points.
