Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against FC Machida Zelvia and Sanfrecce Hiroshima has kicked off!
- 5' Se-hun Oh needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 7 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' It looks surprising FC Machida Zelvia does not make any changes. Ryo Germain has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' The travelling Sanfrecce Hiroshima supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' Sanfrecce Hiroshima seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 21' The FC Machida Zelvia manager makes a substitution. Daihachi Okamura departs to be replaced by Ibrahim Dresevic.
- 26' FC Machida Zelvia is taking the lead after the goal scored by Yuki Soma on 26.
- 31' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 36' Sanfrecce Hiroshima started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 36.
- 41' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tsukasa Shiotani, as he is very good at scoring at Machida GION Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 46' The Sanfrecce Hiroshima manager makes a substitution. Shunki Higashi departs to be replaced by Daiki Suga.
