Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Yokohama F·Marinos host V-Varen Nagasaki — let the battle begin!
- 5' The travelling V-Varen Nagasaki supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' V-Varen Nagasaki are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 15' Ken Matsubara has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' Yokohama F·Marinos are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined V-Varen Nagasaki backline.
- 30' Keita Endo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
- 35' 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.
- 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering V-Varen Nagasaki that had 188 games and scored 49 goals.
- 45' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 50' 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.
- 55' Over 55 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 60' 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.
- 65' A quiet spell here at . V-Varen Nagasaki seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 70' 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 Milos Degenek suffering a number of foals already.
- 75' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 75 minutes.
- 80' Ryota Takasugi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 85' Yokohama F·Marinos started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 85.
- 90' Yokohama F·Marinos are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Yokohama F·Marinos to claim maximum points.
