Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Avispa Fukuoka gets underway.
  • 5' It’s high time Shigetoshi Hasebe made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 15' Sanfrecce Hiroshima started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Avispa Fukuoka that had 213 games and scored 224 goals.
  • 35' Toshihiro Aoyama, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 40' Ryo Nagai has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 45' Avispa Fukuoka are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 50' 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 Jordy Croux suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Makoto Mitsuta made 348 appearances and scored 18 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 56' Hayato Araki has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 56.
  • 61' With 0 assists to his name this season, Takeshi Kanamori is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Avispa Fukuoka.
  • 63' The Sanfrecce Hiroshima bench stirs into life. Ryo Nagai is withdrawn and Junior Santos gets his opportunity.
  • 65' Time for substitution for Avispa Fukuoka. Lukian is replaced by Juanma.
  • 66' Sanfrecce Hiroshima player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 71' The travelling Avispa Fukuoka supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 74' Another substitution for Avispa Fukuoka to replace Sotan Tanabe by Tatsuya Tanaka on 74 minute.
  • 79' Yuya Yamagishi makes way for Takuya Shigehiro at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from Avispa Fukuoka.
  • 84' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 85' Another change for Sanfrecce Hiroshima made on 85 minute. Toshihiro Aoyama leaves to be changed by Taishi Matsumoto.
  • 90' Another change for Sanfrecce Hiroshima made on 90 minute. Shunki Higashi leaves to be changed by Yusuke Chajima.
  • Full Time. Sanfrecce Hiroshima beats Avispa Fukuoka
