Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Ajinomoto Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Tokyo Verdy needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Koya Yuruki, as he is very good at scoring at Ajinomoto Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 25' Kashiwa Reysol is showing some good football. However, Kashiwa Reysol are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' Tokyo Verdy looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Yuta Arai scoring 1 goals.
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashiwa Reysol that had 411 games and scored 345 goals.
  • 40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 45' Kashiwa Reysol 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.
  • 50' Yuki Kakita needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 8 Yellow cards this season.
  • 55' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Tokyo Verdy winning 100% of all matches.
  • 60' Kashiwa Reysol started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 60.
  • 65' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Naoki Hayashi made 447 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 70' The travelling Kashiwa Reysol supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 73' A meaty challenge results in booking for Itsuki Someno on 73.
  • 78' It looks surprising Kashiwa Reysol does not make any changes. Rei Hirakawa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 83' It’s high time Ricardo Rodríguez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 88' 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.
  • 90' Goal! Yuta Arai scores his 3 goal in 95 matches.
  • The final score is 1-0.
