Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Yokohama F·Marinos gets underway.
- 5' 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 Hijiri Onaga suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Keita Endo, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' 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.
- 20' The travelling V-Varen Nagasaki supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' Yokohama F·Marinos is showing some good football. However, Yokohama F·Marinos are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 30' 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.
- 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. V-Varen Nagasaki needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' Jun Amano needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Takahiro Ogihara made 302 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 55' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 60' Yokohama F·Marinos is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 65' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 70' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 75' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 80' It looks like no one’s ball. V-Varen Nagasaki is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Yokohama F·Marinos that had 302 games and scored 556 goals.
- 90' It’s high time Takuya Takagi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- The final score is 5-2.
