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

88' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
89' A stunning finish from Miki Yamane — that came from absolutely nowhere!
90' Miki Yamane adds to his 0 season tally! Kawasaki Frontale lead 2-3 — and this changes everything.
