Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Hiroshi Jofuku will be considering his options from the bench.
10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sanfrecce Hiroshima and FC Tōkyō are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sanfrecce Hiroshima that had 339 games and scored 435 goals.
20' It looks surprising Sanfrecce Hiroshima does not make any changes. Na Sangho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
30' A quiet spell here at . Sanfrecce Hiroshima seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
35' Keisuke Osako needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
40' Sanfrecce Hiroshima are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Tōkyō backline.
45' Yoshifumi Kashiwa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
50' It’s high time Kenta Hasegawa made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
55' 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 Sho Sasaki suffering a number of foals already.
60' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
65' Over 65 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
68' Another change for FC Tokyo made on 68 minute. Kensuke Nagai leaves to be changed by Jael.
70' Fresh legs for Sanfrecce Hiroshima! Yusuke Minagawa comes on to replace Kosei Shibasaki.
71' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Diego Oliveira makes it 0-1.
74' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Yuki Nogami on 74 minutes.
77' Time for substitution for Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Emil Salomonsson is replaced by Kohei Shimizu.
82' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
84' The Sanfrecce Hiroshima manager makes a substitution. Yoshifumi Kashiwa departs to be replaced by Shunki Higashi.
89' The FC Tokyo bench stirs into life. Kotaro Omori is withdrawn and Na Sangho gets his opportunity.
0-1 the final result. Sanfrecce Hiroshima will be bitterly disappointed.
