Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
5' Japan international Masato Morishige has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
15' Akihiro Hayashi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kenta Hasegawa might look to freshen things up shortly.
25' Jael has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
30' FC Tokyo fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
35' Sanfrecce Hiroshima 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.
40' Sanfrecce Hiroshima currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tokyo that had 450 games and scored 428 goals.
50' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
55' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
60' Sanfrecce Hiroshima are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Tokyo backline.
65' Over 65 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
68' Jael gets the nod from FC Tokyo. He replaces Kensuke Nagai and will look to change the dynamic.
70' The Sanfrecce Hiroshima bench stirs into life. Kosei Shibasaki is withdrawn and Yusuke Minagawa gets his opportunity.
71' What a strike from Diego Oliveira! The score is 0-1.
74' Yuki Nogami catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 74.
77' Time for substitution for Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Emil Salomonsson is replaced by Kohei Shimizu.
82' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
84' Shunki Higashi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Yoshifumi Kashiwa at the 84 minute mark.
89' The supporters are chanting for Na Sangho. He replaces Kotaro Omori on 89 minute.
The final score is 0-1.
