Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Kawasaki Frontale get us underway at Ekimae Real Estate Stadium.
  • 5' Akito Fukuta, a Japan , has 8 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 10' Tatsuki Seko has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 15' Kawasaki Frontale come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 20' Sagan Tosu 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.
  • 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Toru Oniki might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 30' 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 Bafetimbi Gomis suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Sagan Tosu FC and Kawasaki Frontale are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 40' Takuma Ominami has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.

  • 50' Supporters expect more eagerness from Miki Yamane, as he is very good at scoring at Ekimae Real Estate Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 55' Sagan Tosu FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Kawasaki Frontale backline.
  • 59' It is a substitution in Kawasaki Frontale team. Yusuke Segawa is replaced by Tatsuki Seko on 59 minute.
  • 60' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Wataru Harada.
  • 65' Sagan Tosu FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 65.
  • 67' The Sagan Tosu FC manager makes a substitution. Kohei Tezuka departs to be replaced by Jun Nishikawa.
  • 71' Fresh legs for Kawasaki Frontale! Akihiro Ienaga comes on to replace Daiya Tono.
  • 73' A change in the Sagan Tosu FC ranks — Yuto Iwasaki exits the field as Ayumu Yokoyama enters on 73.
  • 78' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 81' Kawasaki Frontale ring the changes. Jesiel has done his job and it is now time for Takuma Ominami to step up.
  • 85' The whistle greets Akito Fukuta as he departs to be replaced by Toshio Shimakawa.
  • 87' Shota Hino does the damage! The net is bulging and Sagan Tosu FC surge ahead!
