Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Sanga Stadium by KYOCERA. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Tōkyō is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' FC Tōkyō started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Shinnosuke Fukuda, as he is very good at scoring at Sanga Stadium by KYOCERA with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
  • 25' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 30' That looks like a foul for a card for Keigo Higashi.
  • 32' GOAL! Sota Kawasaki scores on 32.
  • 37' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 42' It looks surprising FC Tōkyō does not make any changes. Leon Nozawa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 47' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kyoto Sanga FC that had 162 games and scored 189 goals.
  • 52' FC Tōkyō is showing some good football. However, FC Tōkyō are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 57' Temma Matsuda has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sora Hiraga on 57 minute.
  • 62' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 62 minutes.
  • 66' It is a substitution in Kyoto Sanga FC team. Takuji Yonemoto is replaced by Shohei Takeda on 66 minute.
  • 70' What an equalizer from Shohei Takeda!
  • 72' Teruhito Nakagawa has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kota Tawaratsumida on 72 minute.
  • 75' GOAL! Masaya Okugawa scores on 75. Assisted by Sota Kawasaki
  • 78' The whistle greets Keigo Higashi as he departs to be replaced by Kento Hashimoto.
  • 83' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
