Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Todoroki Athletics Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Deniz Hummet, as he is very good at scoring at Todoroki Athletics Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 30' Kawasaki Frontale started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
  • 32' Goal! Marcinho scores his 35 goal in 266 matches.
  • 37' 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.
  • 42' 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 Yasuto Wakizaka suffering a number of foals already.
  • 47' The travelling Gamba Osaka supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 52' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 53' GOAL! Takashi Usami scores on 53. Assisted by Keisuke Kurokawa
  • 57' Another substitution for Kawasaki Frontale to replace Marcinho by Yusuke Segawa on 57 minute.
  • 60' What a strike from Ryoya Yamashita! The score is 1-2.
  • 65' 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.
  • 70' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 71' Time for substitution for Kawasaki Frontale. So Kawahara is replaced by Yuto Ozeki.
  • 76' It looks surprising Gamba Osaka does not make any changes. Neta Lavi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 78' Another substitution for Gamba Osaka to replace Neta Lavi by Shu Kurata on 78 minute.
  • 79' What an equalizer from Tatsuya Ito!
  • 84' It’s high time Shigetoshi Hasebe made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 87' Ryoya Yamashita is having his name booked by the referee on 87.
