Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Kawasaki Frontale and Sagan Tosu FC has kicked off!
  • 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 Fernando Torres suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Kawasaki Frontale and Sagan Tosu FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 15' 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.

  • 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 35' Ryota Ohshima has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

  • 55' Sagan Tosu FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
  • 60' It looks surprising Kawasaki Frontale does not make any changes. Hideto Takahashi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
