Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Shonan Bellmare get us underway at Yurtec Stadium Sendai.
  • 5' Shuto Yamamoto needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Wellington makes it 0-1.
  • 15' Koki Tachi is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Shonan Bellmare tonight.
  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 25' The 25-year-old Kosei Tani has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Naoki Yamada, as he is very good at scoring at Yurtec Stadium Sendai with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Shonan Bellmare is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' Shonan Bellmare fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 45' It’s high time Satoshi Yamaguchi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 50' Shonan Bellmare is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 55' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 59' Shuto Yamamoto catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 59.
  • 64' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 67' The Shonan Bellmare bench stirs into life. Akimi Barada is withdrawn and Naoki Yamada gets his opportunity.
  • 68' Chihiro Kato is replacing Kunimitsu Sekiguchi for the Vegalta Sendai side.
  • 73' Shingo Tomita makes way for Foguinho at the 73 minute mark. A tactical switch from Vegalta Sendai.
  • 74' Shonan Bellmare manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yuki Ohashi is hanging Wellington on the field on 74 minute.
  • 75' A goal from the Japan international Takuya Okamoto! He fires home on 75 to make it 0-2!
  • 80' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 85' 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 Akimi Barada suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' Another change for Vegalta Sendai made on 86 minute. Takayoshi Ishihara leaves to be changed by Kyohei Yoshino.
  • 89' A moment of madness from Takuma Nishimura on 89 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Vegalta Sendai will be frustrated.
  • 90' The crowd applauds Taiyo Hiraoka as he leaves the pitch. Hirokazu Ishihara steps in for Shonan Bellmare.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Vegalta Sendai.
