Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. V-Varen Nagasaki host FC Tokyo — let the battle begin!
  • 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Takuya Takagi will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 10' FC Tokyo looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Marcelo Ryan scoring 1 goals.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with FC Tokyo winning 100% of all matches.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both V-Varen Nagasaki and FC Tokyo are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 35' Takashi Sawada, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 40' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 45' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jang Hyunsoo made 444 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 55' It’s high time Kenta Hasegawa made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 60' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 65' 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.
  • 70' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
  • 75' 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 Akihiro Hayashi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' Over 80 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 85' FC Tokyo fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 90' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. FC Tokyo take all three points.
