- 0' Welcome to NHK Spring Mitsuzawa Football Stadium that hosts another battle between Yokohama FC and Cerezo Osaka FC.
- 5' Ayumu Seko has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 369 appearances.
- 10' Yokohama FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
- 14' Hiroshi Kiyotake doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 19' Over 19 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 24' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 29' 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 Yutaro Hakamata suffering a number of foals already.
- 34' The 34-year-old Riku Matsuda has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 39' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Cerezo Osaka FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 44' Yokohama FC have won 139 goals from 143 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 46' Another substitution for Cerezo Osaka FC to replace Toshiyuki Takagi by Yasuki Kimoto on 46 minute.
- 51' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 56' Both keepers have barely been tested. Yokohama FC and Cerezo Osaka FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 58' GOAL! Bruno Mendes fires home to make it 0-2!
- 59' Time for substitution for Yokohama FC. Yusuke Minagawa is replaced by Koki Saito.
- 64' It looks surprising Yokohama FC does not make any changes. Yasuki Kimoto has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 67' The whistle greets Hiroaki Okuno as he departs to be replaced by Koji Suzuki.
- 72' Naoyuki Fujita, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 73' It is a substitution in Cerezo Osaka FC team. Bruno Mendes is replaced by Ken Tokura on 73 minute.
- 76' The Yokohama FC manager makes a substitution. Yutaro Hakamata departs to be replaced by Shunsuke Nakamura.
- 81' Cerezo Osaka FC is showing some good football. However, Cerezo Osaka FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 85' The deadlock is broken! Yusuke Matsuo gets on the scoresheet on 85 minutes.
- 86' Kyowaan Hoshi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kazunari Ichimi on 86 minute.
- 86' Magnificent from Yusuke Matsuo! That is 24 goals in 143 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 87' Jun Nishikawa is ready to make an impact after coming on for Tatsuhiro Sakamoto at the 87 minute mark.
- 88' A tactical swap from Cerezo Osaka FC — Jun Nishikawa on, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto off on 88 minutes.
- Full Time. Cerezo Osaka FC beats Yokohama FC
