Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Kawasaki Frontale kicks off things out of here…
5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Hayato Araki is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Kawasaki Frontale.
10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kawasaki Frontale and Sanfrecce Hiroshima are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
15' Sanfrecce Hiroshima is showing some good football. However, Sanfrecce Hiroshima are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
17' That is a card for Kawasaki Frontale. Takuma Ominami will be fuming at that decision.
22' It is a cagey affair so far. Kawasaki Frontale in their 4-1-2-3 trying to find a way past Sanfrecce Hiroshima's compact 3-4-2-1.
27' Another change for Kawasaki Frontale made on 27 minute. Yu Kobayashi leaves to be changed by Leandro Damiao.
32' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
37' Tsukasa Morishima has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
42' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
47' The 28-year-old Ezequiel has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
52' Akihiro Ienaga is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sanfrecce Hiroshima tonight.
56' Yasuto Wakizaka has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 56 minutes.
61' Sanfrecce Hiroshima are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
64' A change in the Sanfrecce Hiroshima ranks — Sota Koshimichi exits the field as Yusuke Chajima enters on 64.
69' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yusuke Chajima made 335 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
74' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
79' The whistle greets Taisei Miyashiro as he departs to be replaced by Daiya Tono.
84' A change in the Sanfrecce Hiroshima ranks — Jelani Sumiyoshi exits the field as Taichi Yamasaki enters on 84.
89' The crowd applauds Ryota Oshima as he leaves the pitch. Kazuki Kozuka steps in for Kawasaki Frontale.
90' That looks like a foul for a card for Douglas Vieira.
90' Kazuya Yamamura is replacing Akihiro Ienaga for the Kawasaki Frontale side.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
