  • 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Kawasaki Frontale and FC Tōkyō are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 10' 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 Ao Tanaka suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kenta Hasegawa might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 20' 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.
  • 23' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Tsuyoshi Watanabe.
  • 24' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Akihiro Ienaga makes it 1-0.
  • 29' It’s high time Kenta Hasegawa made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 44' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 46' Hirotaka Mita makes way for Takumi Nakamura at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Tokyo.
  • 51' Jung Sungryong is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kawasaki Frontale tonight.
  • 56' It looks like no one’s ball. Kawasaki Frontale is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 57' Magnificent from Diego Oliveira! That is 87 goals in 437 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 62' With 2 assists to his name this season, Hidemasa Morita is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Kawasaki Frontale.
  • 67' Miki Yamane is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Tōkyō so far.
  • 72' A quiet spell here at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium. Kawasaki Frontale seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 74' Assisted by Kaoru Mitoma with the perfectly-timed delivery and Kengo Nakamura makes no mistake. 2-1!
  • 76' Adailton has so much to prove this time. He replaces Diego Oliveira on 76 minute.
  • 77' Kengo Nakamura makes way for Yasuto Wakizaka at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kawasaki Frontale.
  • 82' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 87' FC Tōkyō has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 89' The supporters are chanting for Takuya Uchida. He replaces Hotaka Nakamura on 89 minute.
  • 90' Taichi Hara is ready to make an impact after coming on for Leandro at the 90 minute mark.
