Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium that hosts another battle between Kawasaki Frontale and Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
  • 5' Sanfrecce Hiroshima have won 435 goals from 339 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Sanfrecce Hiroshima is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' A stunning finish from Keisuke Osako — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 25' It looks surprising Sanfrecce Hiroshima does not make any changes. Emil Salomonsson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' 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 Kei Chinen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Hayao Kawabe is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kawasaki Frontale tonight.
  • 40' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 45' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Kawasaki Frontale needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 46' Another substitution for Sanfrecce Hiroshima to replace Emil Salomonsson by Leandro Pereira on 46 minute.
  • 51' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 56' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Sanfrecce Hiroshima winning 0% of all matches.
  • 57' Yuki Nogami catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 57.
  • 60' Time for substitution for Kawasaki Frontale. Ryota Ohshima is replaced by Hokuto Shimoda.
  • 65' Kengo Nakamura has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
  • 66' Kengo Nakamura makes way for Manabu Saito at the 66 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kawasaki Frontale.
  • 70' The whistle greets Sho Inagaki as he departs to be replaced by Kosei Shibasaki.
  • 75' Tsukasa Morishima is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Kawasaki Frontale so far.
  • 76' The referee calls foul for Tsukasa Morishima. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 81' Hiroyuki Abe has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 82' What composure from Leandro Pereira! The Brazil international strokes it home. 0-2.
  • 84' Maguinho doubles the advantage! 1-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 89' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kyohei Noborizato on 90.
  • 90' A change in the Kawasaki Frontale ranks — Yu Kobayashi exits the field as Kei Chinen enters on 90.
  • With this win, Kawasaki Frontale is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
