Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Kashiwa Reysol kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ricardo Rodríguez will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Kashiwa Reysol is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 20' Urawa Red Diamonds is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

  • 63' Ryoma Watanabe catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. card on 63.
