Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Nagoya Grampus and Urawa Red Diamonds has kicked off!
- 5' The travelling Urawa Red Diamonds supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' 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 Mateus suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Nagoya Grampus is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' It’s high time Kenta Hasegawa made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 25' 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.
- 30' Urawa Red Diamonds started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nagoya Grampus needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 46' It is a substitution in Urawa Red Diamonds team. Taishi Matsumoto is replaced by Kaito Yasui on 46 minute.
- 51' Goal! Ryoma Watanabe scores his 30 goal in 437 matches.
- 56' Urawa Red Diamonds 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.
- 61' It looks surprising Nagoya Grampus does not make any changes. Rikito Inoue has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 66' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Taishi Matsumoto made 335 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 67' The supporters are chanting for Takahiro Sekine. He replaces Matheus Savio on 67 minute.
- 72' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 78' Another substitution for Nagoya Grampus to replace Keiya Shiihashi by Tsukasa Morishima on 78 minute.
