Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. FC Machida Zelvia kicks off things out of here…
- 5' The travelling FC Machida Zelvia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kai Shibato, as he is very good at scoring at Sanga Stadium by KYOCERA with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' Kyoto Sanga FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Machida Zelvia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 22' Se-hun Oh has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 22 minutes.
- 27' Kazuki Fujimoto is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Machida Zelvia so far.
- 31' That looks like a foul for a card for Kazunari Ichimi.
- 36' 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 Sora Hiraga suffering a number of foals already.
- 37' FC Machida Zelvia receives a card for a hard tackle on 37.
- 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yu Hirakawa made 387 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 46' It is a substitution in Kyoto Sanga FC team. Yuta Miyamoto is replaced by Shinnosuke Fukuda on 46 minute.
- 50' Yuto Misao picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 55' Kyoto Sanga FC is showing some good football. However, Kyoto Sanga FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 56' That is a card for Kyoto Sanga FC. Taiki Hirato will be fuming at that decision.
- 57' Kyoto Sanga FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Taichi Hara is hanging Kazunari Ichimi on the field on 57 minute.
- 60' The crowd applauds Se-hun Oh as he leaves the pitch. Mitchell Duke steps in for FC Machida Zelvia.
- 64' A stunning finish from Sang-ho Na — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 66' Yuto Anzai has so much to prove this time. He replaces Taiki Hirato on 66 minute.
- 71' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kyoto Sanga FC and FC Machida Zelvia are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 73' Another substitution for FC Machida Zelvia to replace Sang-ho Na by Erik on 73 minute.
- 75' What composure from Mitchell Duke! The Australia international strokes it home. 0-3.
