Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: FC Tōkyō gets underway.
5' 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.
10' Asahi Sasaki needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 13 Yellow cards this season.
15' It looks surprising Kawasaki Frontale does not make any changes. Sai van Wermeskerken has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
23' Keita Endo doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
28' FC Tōkyō fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
33' Japan international Kein Sato has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
38' Kanta Doi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Kawasaki Frontale so far.
43' 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.
46' Kawasaki Frontale ring the changes. Lazar Romanic has done his job and it is now time for Yasuto Wakizaka to step up.
51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
56' FC Tōkyō 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.
59' Kanta Doi picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
63' Time for substitution for FC Tokyo. Teruhito Nakagawa is replaced by Kein Sato.
68' Kawasaki Frontale are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
73' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Kawasaki Frontale side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
75' That looks like a foul for a card for Marcinho.
79' Fresh legs for Kawasaki Frontale! Kento Tachibanada comes on to replace So Kawahara.
80' Time for substitution for FC Tokyo. Takahiro Ko is replaced by Kei Koizumi.
84' Kawasaki Frontale make a change. Erison trudges off to be replaced by Yu Kobayashi on 84 minutes.
85' The whistle greets Keita Endo as he departs to be replaced by Sei Muroya.
90' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kawasaki Frontale and FC Tōkyō are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
Kawasaki Frontale will have plenty to reflect on. FC Tōkyō were simply the better side today.
