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' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tatsuya Morita made 34 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Kashiwa Reysol receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 10.
  • 15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 20' The home supporters are growing impatient. Sanfrecce Hiroshima must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 25' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 30' Sanfrecce Hiroshima currently sit 12 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

  • 50' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jay-Roy Grot.
  • 55' Sho Sasaki has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 60' 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 Mao Hosoya suffering a number of foals already.

  • 81' Tsukasa Shiotani has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 81 minutes.
  • 86' Kashiwa Reysol are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
