  • 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 58' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mao Hosoya made 411 appearances and scored 46 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 60' Kashiwa Reysol make a change. Keiya Shiihashi trudges off to be replaced by Masatoshi Mihara on 60 minutes.
