Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Sanfrecce Hiroshima gets underway.
- 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 65' Tomoya Inukai adds to his 0 season tally! Kashiwa Reysol lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
