Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. FC Tōkyō kicks off things out of here…
5' Sho Sasaki needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 26 Yellow cards this season.
10' A quiet spell here at EDION Stadium. FC Tōkyō seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
14' A goal from the Japan international Yuki Nogami! He fires home on 14 to make it 1-0!
19' Diego Oliveira makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and FC Tokyo are in front.
22' A stunning finish from Shuto Abe — that came from absolutely nowhere!
27' 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 Masato Morishige suffering a number of foals already.
32' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
37' What an equalizer from Hayato Araki!
40' FC Tokyo player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
45' The deadlock is broken! Leandro gets on the scoresheet on 45 minutes.
46' Takuya Uchida has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kensuke Nagai on 46 minute.
51' Another change for Sanfrecce Hiroshima made on 51 minute. Toshihiro Aoyama leaves to be changed by Rhayner.
54' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Hayato Araki.
59' Sanfrecce Hiroshima is showing some good football. However, Sanfrecce Hiroshima are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
61' The FC Tokyo bench stirs into life. Diego Oliveira is withdrawn and Adailton gets his opportunity.
66' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Hiroshi Jofuku will be considering his options from the bench.
68' Yoshifumi Kashiwa picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
71' The whistle greets Yusuke Chajima as he departs to be replaced by Tomoya Fujii.
76' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sanfrecce Hiroshima needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
78' FC Tokyo make a change. Leandro trudges off to be replaced by Joan Oumari on 78 minutes.
82' Kosei Shibasaki gets the nod from Sanfrecce Hiroshima. He replaces Tsukasa Morishima and will look to change the dynamic.
86' The whistle greets Shuto Abe as he departs to be replaced by Hirotaka Mita.
It finishes all square. Sanfrecce Hiroshima and FC Tōkyō share the spoils 3-3.
