- 26' Yuta Toyokawa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 31' Cerezo Osaka FC is showing some good football. However, Cerezo Osaka FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 36' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 41' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 41 minutes.
- 44' It’s a booking for Tokushima Vortis player. Takeru Kishimoto gets a Yellow card.

- 51' Tokushima Vortis 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.
- 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tatsuhiro Sakamoto made 369 appearances and scored 21 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 58' Tokushima Vortis manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yudai Konishi is hanging Yuki Kakita on the field on 58 minute.
- 63' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
