Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Shonan Bellmare kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Sanfrecce Hiroshima is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Cho Kwijea will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 20' Shunsuke Kikuchi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 30' Sanfrecce Hiroshima are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Shonan Bellmare's shape.
  • 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hiroshi Jofuku might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 40' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Sanfrecce Hiroshima side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 45' Japan international Seiya Fujita has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 50' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 55' The travelling Shonan Bellmare supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 60' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 65' Yota Akimoto is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Shonan Bellmare tonight.
  • 70' Sanfrecce Hiroshima have won 427 goals from 335 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 75' Takuto Hayashi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 80' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 85' Shonan Bellmare 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.
  • 90' Sanfrecce Hiroshima are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Shonan Bellmare backline.
  • 2-2 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
