Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: V-Varen Nagasaki gets underway.
- 5' 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.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' It looks surprising Kawasaki Frontale does not make any changes. Yu Kobayashi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' Kawasaki Frontale started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Kawasaki Frontale is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Kawasaki Frontale 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.
- 35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 40' The travelling Kawasaki Frontale supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering V-Varen Nagasaki that had 183 games and scored 42 goals.
- 50' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 55' Ryota Ohshima needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 60' 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 Ryota Takasugi suffering a number of foals already.
- 65' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 70' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 75' Shunya Yoneda has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 80' It’s high time Takuya Takagi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 85' Supporters expect more eagerness from Musashi Suzuki, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 90' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Hiroyuki Abe made 417 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- With this win, Kawasaki Frontale is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
