  • 10' Diego Oliveira has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 15 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Tokyo must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 20' Japan international Takahiro Sekine has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 25' The 34-year-old Mauricio has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 30' FC Tokyo are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Urawa Red Diamonds's shape.
  • 35' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both FC Tokyo and Urawa Red Diamonds are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 40' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 44' What a strike from Diego Oliveira! The score is 1-0.
  • 46' The whistle greets Koya Yuruki as he departs to be replaced by Takahiro Sekine.
  • 51' 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.
  • 56' Kazuki Nagasawa makes way for Quentin Martinus at the 56 minute mark. A tactical switch from Urawa Red Diamonds.

  • 79' 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 Ewerton suffering a number of foals already.
