5' Yuki Nogami has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
10' Kensuke Nagai, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
14' Yuki Nogami has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 14 minutes.
19' The Brazil Diego Oliveira breaks the deadlock on 19 minutes. 1-1!
22' Shuto Abe does the damage! The net is bulging and FC Tokyo surge ahead!
27' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
32' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
37' Hayato Araki does the damage! The net is bulging and Sanfrecce Hiroshima surge ahead!
40' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Diego Oliveira.
45' Brilliant from the ! Leandro makes it 2-3 with a superb finish on 45.
46' Takuya Uchida is replacing Kensuke Nagai for the FC Tokyo side.
51' A change in the Sanfrecce Hiroshima ranks — Toshihiro Aoyama exits the field as Rhayner enters on 51.
54' Hayato Araki was booked on 54.
59' FC Tōkyō are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
61' Adailton is ready to make an impact after coming on for Diego Oliveira at the 61 minute mark.
66' 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.
68' Poor challenge from Yoshifumi Kashiwa. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
71' Tomoya Fujii has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yusuke Chajima on 71 minute.
76' 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.
78' FC Tokyo ring the changes. Leandro has done his job and it is now time for Joan Oumari to step up.
82' Sanfrecce Hiroshima make a change. Tsukasa Morishima trudges off to be replaced by Kosei Shibasaki on 82 minutes.
86' FC Tokyo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hirotaka Mita is hanging Shuto Abe on the field on 86 minute.
