Events

Match Events

  • 21' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Sagan Tosu FC and Avispa Fukuoka are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 26' Sagan Tosu FC have won 293 goals from 279 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 31' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Avispa Fukuoka that had 200 games and scored 210 goals.
  • 36' Yosuke Ideguchi is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sagan Tosu FC tonight.
  • 41' Sagan Tosu FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 45' Takeshi Kanamori doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 49' The supporters are chanting for Akito Fukuta. He replaces Wataru Harada on 49 minute.
  • 53' The referee has no hesitation. Yosuke Ideguchi is booked for Avispa Fukuoka — card on 53.

  • 75' Masato Yuzawa makes way for Seiya Inoue at the 75 minute mark. A tactical switch from Avispa Fukuoka.
  • 80' 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 Yuki Horigome suffering a number of foals already.
