Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Kawasaki Frontale vs Sanfrecce Hiroshima — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' 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.
  • 8' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Jesiel.
  • 13' Supporters expect more eagerness from Douglas Vieira, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

  • 19' The energy levels are beginning to show. Michael Skibbe might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 24' Miki Yamane has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 29' 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.

  • 40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 45' 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 Takumu Kawamura suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' A change in the Sanfrecce Hiroshima ranks — Yuki Nogami exits the field as Makoto Mitsuta enters on 46.
  • 51' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.

  • 59' A stunning finish from Yasuto Wakizaka — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 64' Kawasaki Frontale seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 66' A goal from the Japan international Kei Chinen! He fires home on 66 to make it 4-0!
  • 67' Nassim Ben Khalifa is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ezequiel at the 67 minute mark.

  • 73' Kawasaki Frontale is showing some good football. However, Kawasaki Frontale are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 78' Another substitution for Sanfrecce Hiroshima to replace Jelani Sumiyoshi by Yuta Imazu on 78 minute.
