Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Urawa Red Diamonds gets underway.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. CA River Plate is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' Urawa Red Diamonds 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.
- 12' GOAL! Facundo Colidio scores on 12. Assisted by Marcos Acuna
- 17' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. CA River Plate needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 22' The travelling Urawa Red Diamonds supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 24' It’s a booking for CA River Plate player. Enzo Perez gets a card.
- 29' 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 Kevin Castano suffering a number of foals already.
- 34' It’s gonna be a card for Samuel Gustafson.
- 39' It’s high time Marcelo Gallardo made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 44' Franco Mastantuono has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 21 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 46' Maximiliano Meza has so much to prove this time. He replaces Enzo Perez on 46 minute.
- 48' GOAL! Sebastian Driussi scores on 48.
- 50' It is a substitution in CA River Plate team. Sebastian Driussi is replaced by Miguel Borja on 50 minute.
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marcos Acuna made 505 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 58' GOAL! Yusuke Matsuo scores on 58.
- 58' Marcos Acuna was booked on 58.
- 59' CA River Plate receives a card for a hard tackle on 59.
- 64' 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.
- 69' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering CA River Plate that had 182 games and scored 279 goals.
- 71' Time for substitution for Urawa Red Diamonds. Takuro Kaneko is replaced by Takahiro Sekine.
- 74' What a strike from Maximiliano Meza! The score is 3-1.
- 74' The whistle greets Facundo Colidio as he departs to be replaced by Gonzalo Martinez.
- 79' 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.
- 81' The whistle greets Yoichi Naganuma as he departs to be replaced by Takuya Ogiwara.
- 86' Supporters expect more eagerness from Enzo Perez, as he is very good at scoring at Lumen Field with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 87' Urawa Red Diamonds player sees a card in front of him.
- 87' The Urawa Red Diamonds manager makes a substitution. Samuel Gustafson departs to be replaced by Genki Haraguchi.
- 88' Another change for CA River Plate made on 88 minute. Marcos Acuna leaves to be changed by Milton Casco.
- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Giuliano Galoppo on 90.
- With this win, CA River Plate is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
