Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Machida GION Stadium!
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Machida Zelvia is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' GOAL! Erik scores on 10.
- 15' 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 Tete Yengi suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Urawa Red Diamonds fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 25' 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.
- 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with FC Machida Zelvia winning 100% of all matches.
- 35' Hiiro Komori has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 270 appearances.
- 40' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 45' Urawa Red Diamonds receives a card for a hard tackle on 45.
- 50' 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.

- 60' Gen Shoji has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 7 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
