Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at EDION Stadium Hiroshima. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Kashiwa Reysol.
  • 5' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 10' Keiya Shiihashi is having his name booked by the referee on 10.
  • 15' Kashiwa Reysol fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 20' 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 Tomoki Takamine suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' Matheus Savio has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
  • 35' Kashiwa Reysol are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 40' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 45' Makoto Mitsuta has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 50' Jay-Roy Grot was booked on 50.
  • 55' Keisuke Osako has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 60' Kashiwa Reysol 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.
  • 65' Kashiwa Reysol is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 70' Sanfrecce Hiroshima make a change. Tsukasa Morishima trudges off to be replaced by Shuto Nakano on 70 minutes.
  • 72' A change in the Kashiwa Reysol ranks — Keiya Shiihashi exits the field as Takuto Kato enters on 72.
  • 77' A tactical swap from Kashiwa Reysol — Keiya Sento on, Mao Hosoya off on 77 minutes.
