Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Kyoto Sanga FC and Kawasaki Frontale is underway.
  • 5' 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 Ryuma Nakano suffering a number of foals already.
  • 8' What a strike from Tatsuya Ito! The score is 0-1.
  • 13' Shohei Takeda is replacing Shimpei Fukuoka for the Kyoto Sanga FC side.
  • 18' Yasuto Wakizaka has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 23' 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.
  • 28' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 33' Kawasaki Frontale is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 38' Goal! Hidehiro Sugai scores his 2 goal in 447 matches.
  • 43' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Kawasaki Frontale needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 46' Another substitution for Kyoto Sanga FC to replace Masaya Okugawa by Fuki Yamada on 46 minute.
  • 51' Kyoto Sanga FC 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.
  • 56' It looks surprising Kawasaki Frontale does not make any changes. Akihiro Ienaga has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 58' The referee shows Kyoto Sanga FC player a card on 58.
  • 59' A meaty challenge results in booking for Fuki Yamada on 59.
  • 64' Filip Uremovic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 65' Time for substitution for Kyoto Sanga FC. Temma Matsuda is replaced by Shun Nagasawa.
  • 70' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

  • 76' Shun Nagasawa was booked on 76.
  • 78' Kawasaki Frontale receives a card for a hard tackle on 78.
  • 83' 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.
  • 84' It’s gonna be a card for Lazar Romanic.
  • 85' Barreto has so much to prove this time. He replaces Taiki Hirato on 85 minute.

  • The final score is 1-1.
