- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
- 5' Shinya Yajima is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vegalta Sendai tonight.
- 10' 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 Yasuhito Endo suffering a number of foals already.
- 11' Kosuke Onose was booked on 11.
- 16' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
