Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Todoroki Athletics Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Kawasaki Frontale and Albirex Niigata.
  • 5' Kota Takai needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 11 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' Kawasaki Frontale seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 12' What a strike from Yasuto Wakizaka! The score is 1-0.
  • 17' It’s high time Daisuke Kimori made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 22' 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.
  • 27' 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.
  • 32' Albirex Niigata started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 32.
  • 34' It’s a booking for Albirex Niigata player. Soya Fujiwara gets a card.
  • 35' GOAL! Soma Kanda scores on 35. Assisted by Jesiel
  • 40' 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.
  • 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 Yuji Hoshi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 50' It’s gonna be a card for Yuto Horigome.
  • 55' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 60' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jesiel, as he is very good at scoring at Todoroki Athletics Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 65' The supporters are chanting for Jin Okumura. He replaces Yoshiaki Takagi on 65 minute.
  • 66' The supporters are chanting for Hiroki Akiyama. He replaces Taiki Arai on 66 minute.
  • 68' Ten Miyagi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Marcinho on 68 minute.
  • 73' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. So Kawahara made 279 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 78' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Albirex Niigata that had 110 games and scored 119 goals.
  • 79' Kawasaki Frontale manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kento Tachibanada is hanging So Kawahara on the field on 79 minute.
  • 84' It is a substitution in Albirex Niigata team. Kaito Taniguchi is replaced by Ken Yamura on 84 minute.
  • 85' Shusuke Ota has so much to prove this time. He replaces Danilo on 85 minute.
  • 88' Yuto Ozeki has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yasuto Wakizaka on 88 minute.
  • 90' Yuki Yamamoto is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
