Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Sankyo Frontier Kashiwa Stadium that hosts another battle between Kashiwa Reysol and Urawa Red Diamonds.
  • 5' It’s high time Ricardo Rodríguez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' It looks surprising Urawa Red Diamonds does not make any changes. Nobuteru Nakagawa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' The travelling Urawa Red Diamonds supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' Urawa Red Diamonds looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Ryoma Watanabe scoring 1 goals.
  • 35' Kashiwa Reysol started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashiwa Reysol that had 411 games and scored 345 goals.
  • 45' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Urawa Red Diamonds winning 50% of all matches.
  • 50' 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 Tojiro Kubo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Ryoma Watanabe needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 58' GOAL! Ryoma Watanabe scores on 58. Assisted by Shoya Nakajima
  • 63' The referee calls foul for Ryoma Watanabe. He receives a card.
  • 68' Kashiwa Reysol 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.
  • 73' Supporters expect more eagerness from Hirokazu Ishihara, as he is very good at scoring at Sankyo Frontier Kashiwa Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 78' Koya Yuruki has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 21 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 83' Kashiwa Reysol is showing some good football. However, Kashiwa Reysol are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 88' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kenta Nemoto made 439 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • Another three points for Urawa Red Diamonds.
