Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Oita FC Trinita kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Oita FC Trinita is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' 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 Leandro Damiao suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Oita FC Trinita started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.

  • 53' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 58' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Oita FC Trinita needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 63' Supporters expect more eagerness from Miki Yamane, as he is very good at scoring at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
