20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Toichi Suzuki is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Urawa Red Diamonds.

29' Urawa Red Diamonds receives a card for a hard tackle on 29.
34' 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.
39' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Urawa Red Diamonds that had 439 games and scored 403 goals.
44' Japan international Shusaku Nishikawa has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.

66' Atsuki Ito, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
71' 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 Takahiro Sekine suffering a number of foals already.
74' Shimpei Fukuoka makes way for Takuji Yonemoto at the 74 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kyoto Sanga FC.
75' A tactical swap from Kyoto Sanga FC — Daiki Kaneko on, Hisashi Appiah Tawiah off on 75 minutes.
