Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Pocari Sweat Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Tokushima Vortis and Vegalta Sendai.
  • 5' 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 Shuhei Akasaki suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Vegalta Sendai 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.
  • 15' The travelling Vegalta Sendai supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 43' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 46' It is a substitution in Vegalta Sendai team. Ryoma Kida is replaced by Koji Hachisuka on 46 minute.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' Supporters expect more eagerness from Shogo Nakahara, as he is very good at scoring at Pocari Sweat Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
