Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at Ajinomoto Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between FC Tōkyō and Urawa Red Diamonds.
  • 5' It looks surprising FC Tōkyō does not make any changes. Takahiro Sekine has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Diego Oliveira made 437 appearances and scored 87 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with FC Tōkyō winning 50% of all matches.
  • 44' Diego Oliveira does the damage! The net is bulging and FC Tokyo surge ahead!
  • 46' Urawa Red Diamonds manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takahiro Sekine is hanging Koya Yuruki on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' Leo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 56' Urawa Red Diamonds manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Quentin Martinus is hanging Kazuki Nagasawa on the field on 56 minute.
  • 61' Adailton gets the nod from FC Tokyo. He replaces Kensuke Nagai and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 66' The deadlock is broken! Adailton gets on the scoresheet on 66 minutes.
  • 68' A change in the Urawa Red Diamonds ranks — Daiki Hashioka exits the field as Ewerton enters on 68.

  • 82' The whistle greets Keigo Higashi as he departs to be replaced by Arthur.
  • 86' That is a Yellow card for FC Tokyo. Hotaka Nakamura will be fuming at that decision.
