Events

Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Tōkyō Verdy is hosting Kashiwa Reysol for another epic battle.
  • 5' Tōkyō Verdy are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 10' The travelling Kashiwa Reysol supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Yuya Nagasawa is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Tōkyō Verdy tonight.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashiwa Reysol that had 418 games and scored 360 goals.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' It looks surprising Tōkyō Verdy does not make any changes. Seiya Baba has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' Tōkyō Verdy are deployed in a 5-4-1 today, looking to exploit space against Kashiwa Reysol's 3-4-2-1 shape.
  • 45' Both keepers have barely been tested. Tōkyō Verdy and Kashiwa Reysol are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 50' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ricardo Rodríguez will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 55' Kashiwa Reysol has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 60' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 65' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yuan Matsuhashi, as he is very good at scoring at Ajinomoto Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 70' Kashiwa Reysol fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 73' Itsuki Someno picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 78' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 83' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 88' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 88 minutes.
  • 90' Tokyo Verdy is taking the lead after the goal scored by Yuta Arai on 90.
  • Tōkyō Verdy celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
