Match Events

- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nagisa Sakurauchi, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' 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.
- 20' 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 Krzysztof Kaminski suffering a number of foals already.
- 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.

- 60' Takashi Sawada has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering V-Varen Nagasaki that had 188 games and scored 49 goals.
