Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Albirex Niigata gets underway.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - GOAL! Shusuke Ota scores on 10.
  • 15' - Koji Suzuki needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Urawa Red Diamonds is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 30' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Takahiro Sekine made 163 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 34' - What a strike from Hiroki Sakai! The score is 1-1.
  • 35' - Goal! Hiroki Sakai scores his 8 goal in 399 matches.
  • 40' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 45' - 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.
  • 47' - GOAL! Takahiro Akimoto scores on 45.
  • 52' - 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 Yoshio Koizumi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 57' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Albirex Niigata that had 16 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 62' - Shusaku Nishikawa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 67' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Albirex Niigata needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 68' - Urawa Red Diamonds player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 69' - The supporters are chanting for Bryan Linssen. He replaces Shinzo Koroki on 69 minute.
  • 72' - Time for substitution for Albirex Niigata. Koji Suzuki is replaced by Gustavo Nescau.
  • 76' - The Urawa Red Diamonds manager makes a substitution. Tomoaki Okubo departs to be replaced by Kaito Yasui.
  • 81' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 81 minutes.
  • 82' - It is a substitution in Albirex Niigata team. Taiki Watanabe is replaced by Yota Komi on 82 minute.
  • 83' - Danilo was booked on 83.
  • 88' - 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.
