Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Urawa Red Diamonds kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - GOAL! Shusuke Ota scores on 10.
  • 15' - The travelling Albirex Niigata supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 25' - 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.
  • 30' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 34' - GOAL! Hiroki Sakai scores on 34.
  • 35' - Sensational shot from Hiroki Sakai. Urawa Red Diamonds is back in the lead.
  • 40' - 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.
  • 45' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Michael James Fitzgerald, as he is very good at scoring at Saitama Stadium 2002 with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 47' - What a strike from Takahiro Akimoto! The score is 3-1.
  • 52' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 57' - It looks surprising Albirex Niigata does not make any changes. Marius Christopher Hoeibraaten has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 62' - Albirex Niigata is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 67' - 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.
  • 68' - Yoshio Koizumi is having his name booked by the referee on 68.
  • 69' - Bryan Linssen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Shinzo Koroki on 69 minute.
  • 72' - Albirex Niigata manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Gustavo Nescau is hanging Koji Suzuki on the field on 72 minute.
  • 76' - Time for substitution for Urawa Red Diamonds. Tomoaki Okubo is replaced by Kaito Yasui.
  • 81' - 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 Okubo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 82' - Another substitution for Albirex Niigata to replace Taiki Watanabe by Yota Komi on 82 minute.
  • 83' - Danilo is having his name booked by the referee on 83.
  • 88' - 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.
  • With this win, Urawa Red Diamonds is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
