  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Urawa Red Diamonds needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' Kaito Yasui has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 21 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Urawa Red Diamonds is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

  • 66' 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.
  • 69' Time for substitution for Kawasaki Frontale. Erison is replaced by Lazar Romanic.
  • 74' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
