Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Shimizu S-Pulse kicks off things out of here…
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' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Elsinho made 452 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
15' The travelling Urawa Red Diamonds supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
20' Urawa Red Diamonds are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
22' Ryosuke Yamanaka is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the defender.
27' A quiet spell here at IAI Stadium Nihondaira. Urawa Red Diamonds seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
32' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
37' 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 Tomoaki Makino suffering a number of foals already.
39' Shimizu S-Pulse player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
44' Urawa Red Diamonds started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 44.
49' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
54' Over 54 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
55' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Yosuke Kawai on 55 minutes.
56' A moment of madness from Yosuke Kawai on 56 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Shimizu S-Pulse will be frustrated.
59' What composure from Shinzo Koroki! The Japan international strokes it home. 0-2.
62' The whistle greets Dutra Junior as he departs to be replaced by Teerasil Dangda.
67' It’s high time Peter Cklamovski made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
68' Another substitution for Urawa Red Diamonds to replace Koya Yuruki by Takahiro Sekine on 68 minute.
69' Controversy at the stadium! Daiki Hashioka argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
69' The Urawa Red Diamonds bench stirs into life. Yuki Muto is withdrawn and Quentin Martinus gets his opportunity.
74' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
77' Leo makes way for Kenyu Sugimoto at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from Urawa Red Diamonds.
80' It is a substitution in Shimizu S-Pulse team. Ryo Takeuchi is replaced by Mitsunari Musaka on 80 minute.
85' Both keepers have barely been tested. Shimizu S-Pulse and Urawa Red Diamonds are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
87' Time for substitution for Urawa Red Diamonds. Kazuki Nagasawa is replaced by Ewerton.
90' Shimizu S-Pulse player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
Urawa Red Diamonds celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
