Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — FC Tōkyō and Urawa Red Diamonds get this one started.
- 5' It’s high time Ricardo Rodríguez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Ricardo Rodríguez might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 20' 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.
- 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 30' Urawa Red Diamonds is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 32' That is a Yellow card for FC Tokyo. Kensuke Nagai will be fuming at that decision.
- 37' 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 Masato Morishige suffering a number of foals already.
- 42' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ricardo Rodríguez will be considering his options from the bench.
- 46' Adailton is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kazuya Konno at the 46 minute mark.
- 51' With 0 assists to his name this season, Alex Schalk is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Tōkyō.
- 56' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Tōkyō and Urawa Red Diamonds are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 61' FC Tōkyō started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 61.
- 64' Yusuke Matsuo is replacing David Moberg-Karlsson for the Urawa Red Diamonds side.
- 69' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 69 minutes.
- 74' It is a substitution in FC Tokyo team. Ryoma Watanabe is replaced by Hirotaka Mita on 74 minute.
- 79' Jakub Slowik, a Poland , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 81' Kensuke Nagai makes way for Keita Yamashita at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Tokyo.
- 86' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- The points are shared — FC Tōkyō 0-0 Urawa Red Diamonds. Honours even.
