Events

Match Events

0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between Sagan Tosu FC and Kawasaki Frontale.
5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Kenta Kawai will be considering his options from the bench.
10' Kento Tachibanada is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sagan Tosu FC tonight.
15' 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 Akito Fukuta suffering a number of foals already.
19' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Kei Koizumi.
24' It looks surprising Sagan Tosu FC does not make any changes. Shogo Taniguchi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
29' It looks like no one’s ball. Sagan Tosu FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
34' Kazuya Yamamura, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
39' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
44' 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' Kawasaki Frontale ring the changes. Kazuki Kozuka has done his job and it is now time for Marcinho to step up.
51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kei Chinen made 443 appearances and scored 39 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
56' Over 56 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
61' It’s high time Kenta Kawai made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
62' Fresh legs for Kawasaki Frontale! Leandro Damiao comes on to replace Kei Chinen.
66' Yuki Horigome makes way for Yuki Kakita at the 66 minute mark. A tactical switch from Sagan Tosu FC.
68' Fresh legs for Sagan Tosu FC! Yuki Kakita comes on to replace Yuji Ono.
73' Kawasaki Frontale 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.
76' The whistle greets Hwang Seokho as he departs to be replaced by Wataru Harada.
77' Fresh legs for Kawasaki Frontale! Daiya Tono comes on to replace Yu Kobayashi.
79' Shogo Taniguchi was booked on 79.
82' A meaty challenge results in booking for Shogo Taniguchi on 82.
84' A change in the Kawasaki Frontale ranks — Tatsuki Seko exits the field as Kazuya Yamamura enters on 84.
88' Another substitution for Sagan Tosu FC to replace Akito Fukuta by Jun Nishikawa on 88 minute.
90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Masaya Tashiro on 90.
0-0 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
