Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Nissan Stadium!
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cerezo Osaka FC that had 373 games and scored 399 goals.
- 10' It’s high time Ange Postecoglou made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' Yokohama F·Marinos are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 20' Cerezo Osaka FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Cerezo Osaka FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' 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 Motohiko Nakajima suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Riku Matsuda.
- 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Teruhito Nakagawa.
- 50' Jun Amano has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 7 cards already picked up this season.
- 54' Ryo Takano picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 55' Cerezo Osaka FC ring the changes. Riki Matsuda has done his job and it is now time for Motohiko Nakajima to step up.
- 60' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 65' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ange Postecoglou will be considering his options from the bench.
- 66' Ado Onaiwu is replacing Jun Amano for the Yokohama F.Marinos side.
- 71' Fresh legs for Cerezo Osaka FC! Kato Mutsuki comes on to replace Yuta Toyokawa.
- 76' Jun Nishikawa has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 78' Kota Mizunuma gets the nod from Yokohama F.Marinos. He replaces Teruhito Nakagawa and will look to change the dynamic.
- 83' Japan international Ryosuke Shindo has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 87' What a moment for Ado Onaiwu! That strike on 87 puts his side firmly in control.
- 89' Another change for Cerezo Osaka FC made on 89 minute. Naoto Arai leaves to be changed by Yuta Koike.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
