Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima will turn into a battlefield for Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Kashiwa Reysol.
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Sanfrecce Hiroshima is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' Kashiwa Reysol is showing some good football. However, Kashiwa Reysol are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' It looks surprising Sanfrecce Hiroshima does not make any changes. Tomoya Koyamatsu has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tsukasa Shiotani, as he is very good at scoring at Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sanfrecce Hiroshima that had 335 games and scored 427 goals.
- 35' The travelling Kashiwa Reysol supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 40' Hayato Tanaka has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 45' Kashiwa Reysol receives a card for a hard tackle on 45.
- 50' 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 Ryosuke Kojima suffering a number of foals already.
- 55' Sanfrecce Hiroshima 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.
- 60' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 65' Time for substitution for Kashiwa Reysol. Tomoya Koyamatsu is replaced by Diego.
- 66' It’s a booking for Sanfrecce Hiroshima player. Sho Sasaki gets a card.
- 71' Kashiwa Reysol started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 71.
- 72' Shunki Higashi puts Sanfrecce Hiroshima on the lead.
- 77' Kashiwa Reysol is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 81' Another change for Kashiwa Reysol made on 81 minute. Tomoya Inukai leaves to be changed by Hayato Tanaka.
- 84' Riki Harakawa was booked on 84.
