Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' Urawa Red Diamonds is showing some good football. However, Urawa Red Diamonds are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
10' Kasper Junker has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
15' Kawasaki Frontale started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
25' Yasuto Wakizaka has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
26' Koki Tsukagawa has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kyohei Noborizato on 26 minute.
31' Yuichi Hirano is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kawasaki Frontale tonight.
32' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Koki Tsukagawa.
33' The deadlock is broken! Takuya Iwanami gets on the scoresheet on 33 minutes.
38' 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 Yoshio Koizumi suffering a number of foals already.
43' Over 43 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
45' It’s a booking for Kawasaki Frontale player. Shogo Taniguchi gets a Yellow card.
50' With 0 assists to his name this season, Atsuki Ito is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Urawa Red Diamonds.
55' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
60' Urawa Red Diamonds looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Matheus Savio scoring 1 goals.
62' What a moment for Akihiro Ienaga! That strike on 62 puts his side firmly in control.
63' A moment of madness from Chanathip Songkrasin on 63 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Kawasaki Frontale will be frustrated.
63' Yuichi Hirano is ready to make an impact after coming on for Atsuki Ito at the 63 minute mark.
64' A stunning finish from Miki Yamane — that came from absolutely nowhere!
68' The referee has no hesitation. Takuya Iwanami is booked for Urawa Red Diamonds — Yellow card on 68.
73' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
75' A tactical swap from Urawa Red Diamonds — Kai Matsuzaki on, Yoshio Koizumi off on 75 minutes.
76' Urawa Red Diamonds manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kai Matsuzaki is hanging Yoshio Koizumi on the field on 76 minute.
81' Yu Kobayashi was booked on 81.
86' Kawasaki Frontale are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Urawa Red Diamonds's shape.
88' Another substitution for Kawasaki Frontale to replace Yasuto Wakizaka by Joao Schmidt on 88 minute.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
