  • 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 10' Jubilo Iwata started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rikiya Uehara made 278 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 30' It’s high time Takuya Takagi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 35' V-Varen Nagasaki are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Jubilo Iwata backline.
  • 40' It is a cagey affair so far. V-Varen Nagasaki in their trying to find a way past Jubilo Iwata's compact .

  • 50' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hiroshi Nanami might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 55' Hijiri Onaga has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 60' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 60 minutes.
  • 65' 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 Ryota Isomura suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' 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.
  • 75' 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.
  • 80' It looks surprising Jubilo Iwata does not make any changes. Masato Kurogi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
