25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
30' Takuma Nishimura is having his name booked by the referee on 30.
35' 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 Takuma Nishimura suffering a number of foals already.
40' What a strike from Marcos Junior! The score is 0-2.
