Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Kawasaki Frontale get us underway at Todoroki Athletics Stadium.
- 4' What composure from Takuma Nishimura! The Japan international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 5' Goal! Takuma Nishimura scores his 59 goal in 398 matches.
- 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Yokohama F·Marinos winning 50% of all matches.
- 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 20' 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 Daiya Tono suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Ken Matsubara has been relatively quiet despite scoring 11 goals in his last 302 appearances.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Yokohama F·Marinos that had 302 games and scored 556 goals.
- 35' A quiet spell here at Todoroki Athletics Stadium. Kawasaki Frontale seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 38' Goal! Elber scores his 40 goal in 329 matches.
- 41' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Kota Mizunuma.
- 46' Time for substitution for Kawasaki Frontale. Akihiro Ienaga is replaced by Yusuke Segawa.
- 51' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 56' 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.
- 60' Takuma Ominami gets the nod from Kawasaki Frontale. He replaces Shintaro Kurumaya and will look to change the dynamic.
- 65' Kawasaki Frontale are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Yokohama F·Marinos backline.
- 70' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Kawasaki Frontale and Yokohama F·Marinos are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 71' The whistle greets Daiya Tono as he departs to be replaced by Ryota Ohshima.
- 72' Yokohama F.Marinos ring the changes. Elber has done his job and it is now time for Yan Santos to step up.
- 77' The crowd applauds Kota Mizunuma as he leaves the pitch. Kenta Inoue steps in for Yokohama F.Marinos.
- 78' Another change for Yokohama F.Marinos made on 78 minute. Kota Mizunuma leaves to be changed by Kenta Inoue.
- 79' Fresh legs for Kawasaki Frontale! Joao Schmidt comes on to replace Yasuto Wakizaka.
- 80' Kawasaki Frontale ring the changes. Yasuto Wakizaka has done his job and it is now time for Joao Schmidt to step up.
- 82' Yokohama F.Marinos make a change. Takuya Kida trudges off to be replaced by Joel Fujita on 82 minutes.
- 85' Controversy at the stadium! Jesiel argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 87' Poor challenge from Jesiel. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Red card.
- 88' Kawasaki Frontale receives a card for a hard tackle on 88.
- 90' Joao Schmidt was booked on 90.
- Kawasaki Frontale will have plenty to reflect on. Yokohama F·Marinos were simply the better side today.
