Events

Match Events

  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 13' Goal! Kota Takai scores his 5 goal in 439 matches.
  • 18' Ayumu Yokoyama was booked on 18.
  • 23' 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.
  • 26' GOAL! Ayumu Yokoyama scores on 26. Assisted by Taichi Kikuchi
  • 31' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kento Tachibanada made 439 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 36' It’s high time Toru Oniki made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 37' Ayumu Yokoyama puts Sagan Tosu FC on the lead.
  • 42' Supporters expect more eagerness from Naoyuki Fujita, as he is very good at scoring at Ekimae Real Estate Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 44' What a strike from Marcelo Ryan! The score is 3-1.
  • 47' What a strike from Wataru Harada! The score is 4-1.
  • 48' GOAL! Akihiro Ienaga scores on 45.
  • 53' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sagan Tosu FC that had 279 games and scored 293 goals.

  • 69' The supporters are chanting for Hinata Yamauchi. He replaces Tatsuki Seko on 69 minute.
  • 74' 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 Daiya Tono suffering a number of foals already.
  • 75' GOAL! Atsushi Kawata scores on 75. Assisted by So Kawahara
  • 78' The Kawasaki Frontale manager makes a substitution. Takuma Ominami departs to be replaced by Yusuke Segawa.
