Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to EDION Stadium that hosts another battle between Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Shonan Bellmare.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Shonan Bellmare started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' The 29-year-old Yoichi Naganuma has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' Japan international Naoki Ishihara has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 35' Sanfrecce Hiroshima are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Shonan Bellmare backline.
  • 40' Shonan Bellmare are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Akimi Barada made 418 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' Sanfrecce Hiroshima make a change. Tomoya Fujii trudges off to be replaced by Tsukasa Morishima on 46 minutes.
  • 51' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 56' What composure from Satoshi Tanaka! The Japan international strokes it home. 0-1.
  • 59' Hayao Kawabe has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rhayner on 59 minute.
  • 64' It looks surprising Sanfrecce Hiroshima does not make any changes. Keisuke Osako has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 67' A change in the Shonan Bellmare ranks — Yuki Ohashi exits the field as Shota Kobayashi enters on 67.
  • 69' The Sanfrecce Hiroshima bench stirs into life. Toshihiro Aoyama is withdrawn and Yuki Nogami gets his opportunity.
  • 74' 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 Yuya Asano suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' The Shonan Bellmare bench stirs into life. Satoshi Tanaka is withdrawn and Kazuki Oiwa gets his opportunity.
  • 81' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Shonan Bellmare are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 83' Kazuki Oiwa catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 83.
  • 88' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shonan Bellmare that had 418 games and scored 315 goals.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Shonan Bellmare take all three points.
