Match Events

- 5' Sagan Tosu FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Kashiwa Reysol backline.
- 10' Sagan Tosu FC is showing some good football. However, Sagan Tosu FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' Kashiwa Reysol have won 345 goals from 411 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sagan Tosu FC and Kashiwa Reysol are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 35' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sagan Tosu FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 40' It’s high time Takahiro Shimotaira made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 45' Sagan Tosu FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 50' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 55' Ataru Esaka has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
- 60' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 60 minutes.
- 65' Kashiwa Reysol fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 70' Kazushige Kirihata, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 75' Park Jeongsu has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 411 appearances.
- 80' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kim Bokyung made 411 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 85' It looks like no one’s ball. Kashiwa Reysol is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 90' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashiwa Reysol that had 411 games and scored 345 goals.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
