Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Matsumoto Yamaga FC.
  • 5' 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 Yuzo Iwakami suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Matsumoto Yamaga FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Hiroshi Jofuku will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hiroshi Jofuku might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 30' Japan international Kohei Hattori has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 35' Both keepers have barely been tested. Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Matsumoto Yamaga FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 40' Matsumoto Yamaga FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
  • 45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 50' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sanfrecce Hiroshima needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 55' 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.
  • 60' Matsumoto Yamaga FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 61' Yoshifumi Kashiwa has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 61 minutes.
  • 62' Sanfrecce Hiroshima ring the changes. Emil Salomonsson has done his job and it is now time for Kohei Shimizu to step up.
  • 67' It looks surprising Matsumoto Yamaga FC does not make any changes. Serginho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 68' Ryo Nagai makes way for Taro Sugimoto at the 68 minute mark. A tactical switch from Matsumoto Yamaga FC.
  • 73' Taishi Matsumoto has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 7 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 77' Sanfrecce Hiroshima make a change. Douglas Vieira trudges off to be replaced by Patric on 77 minutes.
  • 78' The Matsumoto Yamaga FC bench stirs into life. Serginho is withdrawn and Hiroyuki Takasaki gets his opportunity.
  • 82' Matsumoto Yamaga FC make a change. Ibuki Fujita trudges off to be replaced by Akira Ando on 82 minutes.
  • 87' Time for substitution for Sanfrecce Hiroshima. Kosei Shibasaki is replaced by Daiki Watari.
  • 90' Eduardo has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Sanfrecce Hiroshima to claim maximum points.
