Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Kawasaki Frontale kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Ryohei Yamazaki suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Kawasaki Frontale currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 15' 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.
- 20' Kosuke Nakamura has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Kawasaki Frontale is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Kashiwa Reysol has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 35' With 0 assists to his name this season, Hokuto Shimoda is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Kashiwa Reysol.
- 40' Kashiwa Reysol come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
- 50' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Kawasaki Frontale and Kashiwa Reysol are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 55' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 60' Kawasaki Frontale is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 65' Kei Koizumi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 70' Kashiwa Reysol are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 75' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 80' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Kashiwa Reysol winning 100% of all matches.
- 85' Hidekazu Otani has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 424 appearances.
- 90' It looks surprising Kawasaki Frontale does not make any changes. Hiroyuki Abe has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Kawasaki Frontale 3-0 Kashiwa Reysol.
