Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Avispa Fukuoka gets underway.
  • 5' Avispa Fukuoka currently sit 9 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 10' The travelling Urawa Red Diamonds supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Avispa Fukuoka needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' It is a cagey affair so far. Avispa Fukuoka in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past Urawa Red Diamonds's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 25' 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 Tatsuki Nara suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 35' Kaito Yasui puts Urawa Red Diamonds on the lead.
  • 40' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 42' Urawa Red Diamonds receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 42.
  • 47' Lukian has been relatively quiet despite scoring 24 goals in his last 278 appearances.
  • 52' The energy levels are beginning to show. Maciej Skorza might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 57' Avispa Fukuoka have won 224 goals from 213 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 60' Alex Schalk has so much to prove this time. He replaces Takahiro Akimoto on 60 minute.
  • 65' A quiet spell here at Best Denki Stadium. Avispa Fukuoka seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 69' A change in the Urawa Red Diamonds ranks — Ken Iwao exits the field as Yuichi Hirano enters on 69.
  • 70' Kazuaki Mawatari has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kaito Yasui on 70 minute.
  • 72' Avispa Fukuoka player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 72' The crowd applauds Ryoga Sato as he leaves the pitch. Reiju Tsuruno steps in for Avispa Fukuoka.
  • 73' The supporters are chanting for Reiju Tsuruno. He replaces Ryoga Sato on 73 minute.
  • 78' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 81' The Avispa Fukuoka bench stirs into life. Yuya Yamagishi is withdrawn and Wellington gets his opportunity.
  • 82' The whistle greets Yuya Yamagishi as he departs to be replaced by Wellington.
  • 87' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 90' Another substitution for Avispa Fukuoka to replace Lukian by Hisashi Jogo on 90 minute.
  • The final score is 0-0.
