Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Vegalta Sendai host Yokohama F·Marinos — let the battle begin!
- 5' Yasuhiro Hiraoka has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 275 appearances.
- 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Vegalta Sendai and Yokohama F·Marinos are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 15' Vegalta Sendai started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' Yokohama F·Marinos 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.
- 25' Yokohama F·Marinos is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 28' Controversy at the stadium! Takayoshi Ishihara argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 33' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marcos Junior made 387 appearances and scored 48 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 34' Ken Matsubara picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 39' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 44' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ange Postecoglou might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 49' Vegalta Sendai have won 158 goals from 275 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 54' 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 Kota Watanabe suffering a number of foals already.
- 59' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Vegalta Sendai needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 64' Kota Mizunuma is replacing Teruhito Nakagawa for the Yokohama F.Marinos side.
- 67' That is a Yellow card for Yokohama F.Marinos. Thiago Martins will be fuming at that decision.
- 72' Vegalta Sendai currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 74' Time for substitution for Vegalta Sendai. Ryoma Kida is replaced by Koji Hachisuka.
- 79' 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.
- 83' The Yokohama F.Marinos bench stirs into life. Elber is withdrawn and Marcos Junior gets his opportunity.
- 88' Yusuke Minagawa is ready to make an impact after coming on for Takumi Mase at the 88 minute mark.
- 90' A change in the Vegalta Sendai ranks — Takuma Nishimura exits the field as Shogo Nakahara enters on 90.
- will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
