  • 0' The wait is over. Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo get us underway at .
  • 5' Takuma Nishimura has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 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 Akito Fukumori suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Vegalta Sendai side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 25' The travelling Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 35' Vegalta Sendai currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 40' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 45' Ken Tokura has been relatively quiet despite scoring 24 goals in his last 381 appearances.
  • 50' Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 55' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 60' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Vegalta Sendai and Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 65' Vegalta Sendai are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo backline.
  • 70' Hiroki Miyazawa, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 75' It looks like no one’s ball. Vegalta Sendai is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 80' Japan international Takumi Miyayoshi has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 85' With 1 assists to his name this season, Katsuya Nagato is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo.
