Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 15' 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 Erik suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 25' Yokohama F·Marinos fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 35' Yokohama F·Marinos has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 40' A meaty challenge results in booking for Yohei Takaoka on 40.
- 41' Yokohama F.Marinos make a change. Kota Mizunuma trudges off to be replaced by Obi Obinna on 41 minutes.
- 46' Fresh legs for Kawasaki Frontale! Ryota Ohshima comes on to replace Ao Tanaka.
- 50' The referee has no hesitation. Jesiel is booked for Kawasaki Frontale — Yellow card on 50.
- 53' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Kaoru Mitoma makes it 1-0.
- 58' It is a substitution in Yokohama F.Marinos team. Takuya Kida is replaced by Jun Amano on 58 minute.
- 59' Shinnosuke Hatanaka does the damage! The net is bulging and Yokohama F.Marinos surge ahead!
- 63' Ken Matsubara is having his name booked by the referee on 63.
- 65' A tactical swap from Kawasaki Frontale — Yu Kobayashi on, Leandro Damiao off on 65 minutes.
- 70' With 0 assists to his name this season, Tatsuya Hasegawa is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Kawasaki Frontale.
- 75' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Toru Oniki will be considering his options from the bench.
- 77' Marcos Junior catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 77.
- 81' Controversy at the stadium! Jung Sungryong argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.

- 83' The Yokohama F.Marinos bench stirs into life. Erik is withdrawn and Kota Watanabe gets his opportunity.
- 83' That is a Yellow card for Kawasaki Frontale. Jung Sungryong will be fuming at that decision.
- 88' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ken Matsubara made 302 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 90' The deadlock is broken! Jesiel gets on the scoresheet on 90 minutes.
- 90' The referee calls foul for Thiago Martins. He receives a Yellow card.
- The final score is 3-1.
