  • 70' 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.
  • 75' Shintaro Kurumaya is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Kawasaki Frontale so far.
  • 80' Tatsuki Nara is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kawasaki Frontale tonight.
  • 85' Hidemasa Morita has been relatively quiet despite scoring 17 goals in his last 439 appearances.
