Events
Match Events

- 27' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 32' With 2 assists to his name this season, Elber is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Albirex Niigata.
- 37' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
