- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' FC Tokyo is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' 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 Teruhito Nakagawa suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' Kawasaki Frontale is showing some good football. However, Kawasaki Frontale are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 35' It looks surprising FC Tokyo does not make any changes. Kento Tachibanada has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 40' Kawasaki Frontale started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.

- 56' GOAL! Leon Nozawa scores on 56. Assisted by Teruhito Nakagawa
- 61' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sei Muroya made 416 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 66' Erison was booked on 66.
- 71' Reon Yamahara needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 76' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 81' Rio Omori has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 14 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 86' 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.
