Events
Match Events
- 0' Kawasaki Frontale have kicked off against Kyoto Sanga FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 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 Kyo Sato suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 20' Yuto Misao has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 447 appearances.
- 22' It’s a booking for Kyoto Sanga FC player. Daiki Kaneko gets a card.
- 26' Sota Kawasaki has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 26.
- 31' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 31 minutes.
- 36' It’s a booking for Kawasaki Frontale player. Sota Miura gets a card.
- 41' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Toru Oniki will be considering his options from the bench.
- 46' Marco Tulio has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sora Hiraga on 46 minute.
- 51' Sung-yun Gu is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kyoto Sanga FC tonight.
- 56' It’s high time Kwi-Jea Cho made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 61' 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.
- 64' The crowd applauds Yuto Misao as he leaves the pitch. Kyo Sato steps in for Kyoto Sanga FC.
- 65' Against the run of play, Sota Kawasaki has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 70' The Kawasaki Frontale bench stirs into life. Marcinho is withdrawn and Daiya Tono gets his opportunity.

- 80' Asahi Sasaki was booked on 80.
- 84' Time for substitution for Kawasaki Frontale. Akihiro Ienaga is replaced by Bafetimbi Gomis.

- 90' Another substitution for Kyoto Sanga FC to replace Yuta Toyokawa by Takumi Miyayoshi on 90 minute.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-1.
