- 10' Miki Yamane has been relatively quiet despite scoring 19 goals in his last 418 appearances.
- 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Kawasaki Frontale side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Tomoya Koyamatsu is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Sagan Tosu FC.
- 25' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 30' 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.
- 35' Kawasaki Frontale currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kawasaki Frontale and Sagan Tosu FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Hideto Takahashi made 279 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 65' Cho Donggeon makes way for Takeshi Kanamori at the 65 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sagan Tosu FC.
- 70' It looks surprising Kawasaki Frontale does not make any changes. Daiki Miya has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 75' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Kawasaki Frontale and Sagan Tosu FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 76' A change in the Kawasaki Frontale ranks — Leandro Damiao exits the field as Yu Kobayashi enters on 76.
- 80' Tiago Alves catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 80.
- 80' Hideto Takahashi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Fuchi Honda on 80 minute.
- 83' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Riki Harakawa.
