Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Yokohama FC to score. At the same time, Vegalta Sendai does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.

- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 17' What a strike from Yutaro Hakamata! The score is 1-0.
- 22' 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 Yuta Minami suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' It looks like no one’s ball. Yokohama FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
