Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Vegalta Sendai gets underway.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' 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.
  • 17' Goal! Joan Oumari scores his 4 goal in 279 matches.
  • 22' It’s high time Makoto Teguramori made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 27' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vegalta Sendai that had 275 games and scored 158 goals.
  • 32' Vegalta Sendai receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 32.
  • 37' FC Tōkyō is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 42' 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.
  • 46' The supporters are chanting for Shogo Nakahara. He replaces Ryoma Kida on 46 minute.
  • 51' FC Tōkyō started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' Keigo Higashi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 61' Vegalta Sendai seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 62' What an equalizer from Tawiah!
  • 66' Another substitution for FC Tokyo to replace Ryoma Watanabe by Adailton on 66 minute.
  • 71' It looks surprising FC Tōkyō does not make any changes. Yoshiki Matsushita has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 74' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Hirotaka Mita.
  • 76' The whistle greets Kunimitsu Sekiguchi as he departs to be replaced by Koji Hachisuka.
  • 81' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 82' Another substitution for FC Tokyo to replace Yojiro Takahagi by Keigo Higashi on 82 minute.
  • 87' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Foguinho made 275 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 90' Naoya Fukumori is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • 90' Diego Oliveira puts FC Tokyo on the lead.
  • The final score is 1-2.
