Match Events
- 0' The game is set. V-Varen Nagasaki kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kawasaki Frontale that had 417 games and scored 526 goals.
- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' The travelling V-Varen Nagasaki supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Kawasaki Frontale is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' Kawasaki Frontale started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' V-Varen Nagasaki 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.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kengo Nakamura made 417 appearances and scored 16 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' It looks surprising Kawasaki Frontale does not make any changes. Akihiro Ienaga has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 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 Ryota Ohshima suffering a number of foals already.
- 50' Hidemasa Morita has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 55' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
