Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Kawasaki Frontale gets underway.
4' What a strike from Kento Tachibanada! The score is 1-0.
9' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
14' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daiki Matsuoka made 200 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
15' It’s a booking for Kawasaki Frontale player. Filip Uremovic gets a card.
17' Another substitution for Kawasaki Frontale to replace Tatsuya Ito by Jesiel on 17 minute.
22' It’s gonna be a card for Sai van Wermeskerken.

29' Goal! Erison scores his 31 goal in 341 matches.
34' 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.

45' It’s gonna be a card for Sai van Wermeskerken.
50' The travelling Avispa Fukuoka supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
55' It looks surprising Avispa Fukuoka does not make any changes. Yuki Yamamoto has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

63' That looks like a foul for a card for Yuki Yamamoto.
