Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Ekimae Real Estate Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' 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.
- 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 17' It’s gonna be a card for Katsunori Ueebisu.
- 20' What a strike from Yudai Kimura! The score is 0-1.
- 25' 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.
- 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 Cayman Togashi suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kosuke Yamazaki made 279 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' The travelling Tokyo Verdy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 45' Tokyo Verdy is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 50' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 51' Tokyo Verdy receives a card for a hard tackle on 51.
- 56' Tokyo Verdy started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 56.
- 61' Katsunori Ueebisu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 65' The supporters are chanting for Yuan Matsuhashi. He replaces Tiago Alves on 65 minute.
- 68' Ayumu Yokoyama is replacing Yuki Horigome for the Sagan Tosu FC side.
- 73' Vinicius Araujo is replacing Cayman Togashi for the Sagan Tosu FC side.
- 78' Tokyo Verdy 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.
- 79' Another substitution for Sagan Tosu FC to replace Kohei Tezuka by Naoyuki Fujita on 79 minute.
- 84' It looks surprising Sagan Tosu FC does not make any changes. Yuki Horigome has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 85' Tokyo Verdy manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yuto Tsunashima is hanging Itsuki Someno on the field on 85 minute.
- 90' It’s gonna be a card for Yuto Tsunashima.
- 90' Yuto Yamada is replacing Yudai Kimura for the Tokyo Verdy side.
- Full Time. Tokyo Verdy beats Sagan Tosu FC
