Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Ekimae Real Estate Stadium!
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sagan Tosu FC and FC Machida Zelvia are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 15' FC Machida Zelvia are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 20' A stunning finish from Daichi Suzuki — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 25' Junya Suzuki has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 437 appearances.
- 30' It looks surprising FC Machida Zelvia does not make any changes. Mitchell Duke has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 35' Seiji Kimura has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Machida Zelvia that had 94 games and scored 116 goals.
- 45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Akito Fukuta, as he is very good at scoring at Ekimae Real Estate Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
- 46' The FC Machida Zelvia manager makes a substitution. Mitchell Duke departs to be replaced by Se-hun Oh.
- 51' Sagan Tosu FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 56' FC Machida Zelvia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Shota Fujio is hanging Sang-ho Na on the field on 56 minute.

- 72' Another substitution for Sagan Tosu FC to replace Cayman Togashi by Jaja Silva on 72 minute.
- 73' It’s gonna be a card for Shota Fujio.
- 78' 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 Kazuki Fujimoto suffering a number of foals already.
- 79' Another substitution for FC Machida Zelvia to replace Ryohei Shirasaki by Keiya Sento on 79 minute.
- 81' Sagan Tosu FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tsubasa Terayama is hanging Daichi Suzuki on the field on 81 minute.
