Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. FC Tōkyō kicks off things out of here…
5' 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.
10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashima Antlers that had 447 games and scored 468 goals.
15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
20' FC Tōkyō looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
30' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Sei Muroya, as he is very good at scoring at Kashima Soccer Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
39' FC Tokyo player sees a card in front of him.
40' That looks like a foul for a card for Sei Muroya.
45' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Tōkyō is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
50' 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 Kento Hashimoto suffering a number of foals already.
55' 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' It’s high time Toru Oniki made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
65' FC Tōkyō is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
70' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with FC Tōkyō winning 50% of all matches.
75' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
79' Goal! Shu Morooka scores his 8 goal in 447 matches.
80' GOAL! Shu Morooka scores on 80. Assisted by Kei Chinen
85' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Tōkyō needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
89' That looks like a foul for a card for Yuma Suzuki.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
