Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Kawasaki Frontale and Yokohama F·Marinos get this one started.
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' Obi Obinna needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 15' Kawasaki Frontale are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ange Postecoglou will be considering his options from the bench.
- 25' Takahiro Ogihara has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 30' The 35-year-old Shogo Taniguchi has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 35' Kawasaki Frontale is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 40' Poor challenge from Yohei Takaoka. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Red card.
- 41' It is a substitution in Yokohama F.Marinos team. Kota Mizunuma is replaced by Obi Obinna on 41 minute.
- 46' Ryota Ohshima gets the nod from Kawasaki Frontale. He replaces Ao Tanaka and will look to change the dynamic.
- 50' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jesiel.
- 53' Kaoru Mitoma does the damage! The net is bulging and Kawasaki Frontale surge ahead!
- 58' Takuya Kida makes way for Jun Amano at the 58 minute mark. A tactical switch from Yokohama F.Marinos.
- 59' Against the run of play, Shinnosuke Hatanaka has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 63' Ken Matsubara is having his name booked by the referee on 63.
- 65' Leandro Damiao makes way for Yu Kobayashi at the 65 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kawasaki Frontale.
- 70' 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 Leandro Damiao suffering a number of foals already.
- 75' Yokohama F·Marinos 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.
- 77' Controversy at the stadium! Marcos Junior argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 81' Kawasaki Frontale player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 82' Fresh legs for Yokohama F.Marinos! Teruhito Nakagawa comes on to replace Marcos Junior.
- 82' Yokohama F.Marinos player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 83' The whistle greets Erik as he departs to be replaced by Kota Watanabe.
- 83' Kawasaki Frontale receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 83.
- 88' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ange Postecoglou might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 90' Jesiel puts Kawasaki Frontale on the lead.
- 90' Thiago Martins has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
- Game over. The scoreline of 3-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
