Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Kashiwa Reysol host Kawasaki Frontale — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' Kashiwa Reysol currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 15' A quiet spell here at . Kawasaki Frontale seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 20' Kentaro Moriya, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Kashiwa Reysol side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 30' Kawasaki Frontale is showing some good football. However, Kawasaki Frontale are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 35' Kashiwa Reysol started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
  • 40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Kawasaki Frontale winning 50% of all matches.
  • 45' 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 Masashi Kamekawa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 50' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 50 minutes.
  • 55' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Takahiro Shimotaira will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 60' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 65' 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.
  • 70' Japan international Akihiro Ienaga has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 75' Kawasaki Frontale are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 80' Kawasaki Frontale looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 85' It looks surprising Kashiwa Reysol does not make any changes. Ryota Ohshima has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 90' 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.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Kashiwa Reysol 1-2 Kawasaki Frontale.
