Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Kashiwa Reysol get us underway at Sankyo Frontier Kashiwa Stadium.
- 5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Kashiwa Reysol and Sanfrecce Hiroshima are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 9' Goal! Douglas Vieira scores his 36 goal in 108 matches.
- 14' Takuto Hayashi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 19' Ezequiel has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 24' Kashiwa Reysol are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 29' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 34' 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.
- 39' Tatsuya Yamashita is having his name booked by the referee on 39.
- 44' Sanfrecce Hiroshima is showing some good football. However, Sanfrecce Hiroshima are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 46' GOAL! Kengo Kitazume scores on 45. Assisted by Ataru Esaka
- 47' Kengo Kitazume with the second goal in the match!
- 52' Over 52 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 53' The Sanfrecce Hiroshima bench stirs into life. Tsukasa Morishima is withdrawn and Leandro Pereira gets his opportunity.
- 55' Yuki Nogami was booked on 55.
- 60' Sanfrecce Hiroshima started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.

- 62' The crowd applauds Yuya Asano as he leaves the pitch. Rhayner steps in for Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
- 67' Tsukasa Morishima is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sanfrecce Hiroshima tonight.
- 72' It’s high time Nelson Baptista made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 74' That is a Yellow card for Kashiwa Reysol. Masatoshi Mihara will be fuming at that decision.
- 79' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sanfrecce Hiroshima that had 348 games and scored 456 goals.
- 80' The supporters are chanting for Richardson. He replaces Masatoshi Mihara on 80 minute.
- 85' The travelling Sanfrecce Hiroshima supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 86' Hayato Nakama has so much to prove this time. He replaces Hiroto Goya on 86 minute.
- 89' A change in the Kashiwa Reysol ranks — Tatsuya Yamashita exits the field as Jiro Kamata enters on 89.
- 90' Kodai Dohi was booked on 90.
- 1-1 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
