Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Ajinomoto Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Tokyo Verdy and Kawasaki Frontale.
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' Yuki Yamamoto is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Tokyo Verdy tonight.
  • 13' Kawasaki Frontale manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ten Miyagi is hanging Marcinho on the field on 13 minute.
  • 18' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hiroshi Jofuku might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 23' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Tokyo Verdy that had 95 games and scored 82 goals.
  • 28' It looks like no one’s ball. Kawasaki Frontale is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 32' Magnificent from Daiki Fukazawa! That is 1 goals in 95 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 37' It looks surprising Kawasaki Frontale does not make any changes. Yuta Arai has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 42' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 42 minutes.
  • 46' Shin Yamada is replacing Soma Kanda for the Kawasaki Frontale side.
  • 51' Shin Yamada is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Kawasaki Frontale so far.
  • 56' Akihiro Ienaga has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 61' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Kawasaki Frontale needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 62' A tactical swap from Tokyo Verdy — Yuan Matsuhashi on, Yuya Fukuda off on 62 minutes.
  • 65' Yuto Ozeki is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kento Tachibanada at the 65 minute mark.
  • 67' The referee calls foul for Koki Morita. He receives a card.
  • 69' Kawasaki Frontale player sees a card in front of him.
  • 72' The Tokyo Verdy manager makes a substitution. Kosuke Saito departs to be replaced by Issei Kumatoriya.
  • 74' Akihiro Ienaga gets the nod from Kawasaki Frontale. He replaces Tatsuya Ito and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 77' The referee calls foul for Matheus Vidotto. He receives a card.
  • 82' A quiet spell here at Ajinomoto Stadium. Tokyo Verdy seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 87' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Shigetoshi Hasebe will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Hiroto Taniguchi on 90.
  • 90' Another substitution for Tokyo Verdy to replace Koki Morita by Tetsuyuki Inami on 90 minute.
  • Kawasaki Frontale will have plenty to reflect on. Tokyo Verdy were simply the better side today.
