Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: V-Varen Nagasaki gets underway.
  • 5' Yuichi Maruyama has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' Ryota Takasugi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. V-Varen Nagasaki is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 35' FC Tōkyō is showing some good football. However, FC Tōkyō are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 40' 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 Choi Kyubaek suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' V-Varen Nagasaki is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 50' V-Varen Nagasaki started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 50.
  • 55' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kento Hashimoto, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 60' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 65' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 70' It looks surprising V-Varen Nagasaki does not make any changes. Yojiro Takahagi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 75' It’s high time Kenta Hasegawa made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tōkyō that had 437 games and scored 396 goals.
  • 85' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. V-Varen Nagasaki needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 90' 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.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-5.
