Events

Match Events

0' Welcome to Sanga Stadium by KYOCERA that hosts another battle between Kyoto Sanga FC and Urawa Red Diamonds.
5' The travelling Urawa Red Diamonds supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
15' Samuel Gustafson is replacing Ryoma Watanabe for the Urawa Red Diamonds side.
20' 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.
25' 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.
30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
35' 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.
40' 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 Taiki Hirato suffering a number of foals already.
45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Takuya Ogiwara, as he is very good at scoring at Sanga Stadium by KYOCERA with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
50' 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.
55' Yoshinori Suzuki needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 11 Yellow cards this season.
60' Papagaio puts Kyoto Sanga FC on the lead.
63' It is a substitution in Urawa Red Diamonds team. Taishi Matsumoto is replaced by Genki Haraguchi on 63 minute.
68' Kyoto Sanga FC 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' Goal! Thiago Santana scores his 69 goal in 312 matches.
75' The Kyoto Sanga FC manager makes a substitution. Sota Kawasaki departs to be replaced by Takuji Yonemoto.
80' 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.
81' Hisashi Appiah Tawiah has so much to prove this time. He replaces Taiki Hirato on 81 minute.
85' Urawa Red Diamonds manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Motoki Nagakura is hanging Thiago Santana on the field on 85 minute.
87' Another change for Kyoto Sanga FC made on 87 minute. Marco Tulio leaves to be changed by Shun Nagasawa.
The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
