- 15' Japan international Kenta Nemoto has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 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 Yoichi Naganuma suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Daihachi Okamura has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
- 30' It looks surprising FC Machida Zelvia does not make any changes. Matheus Savio has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 65' FC Machida Zelvia are deployed in a 3-4-2-1 today, looking to exploit space against Urawa Red Diamonds's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 70' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 75' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ryoma Watanabe, as he is very good at scoring at Machida GION Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 80' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 85' The energy levels are beginning to show. Go Kuroda might look to freshen things up shortly.
