Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Kawasaki Frontale kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Erison made 341 appearances and scored 31 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Kashiwa Reysol is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' The travelling Kawasaki Frontale supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' Kawasaki Frontale looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 25' Kashiwa Reysol is showing some good football. However, Kashiwa Reysol are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Kashiwa Reysol is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' Yuki Kakita needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 8 Yellow cards this season.
- 40' Kawasaki Frontale started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
- 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Kawasaki Frontale needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 50' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yuichi Maruyama, as he is very good at scoring at Sankyo Frontier Kashiwa Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 55' 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.
- 60' Ryosuke Kojima has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 65' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 70' It looks surprising Kawasaki Frontale does not make any changes. Hiromu Mitsumaru has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 73' Goal! Mao Hosoya scores his 46 goal in 411 matches.
- 78' 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.
- 83' 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.
- 88' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
