Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Saitama Stadium 2002 will turn into a battlefield for Urawa Red Diamonds and Albirex Niigata.
  • 5' - 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.
  • 10' - Goal! Shusuke Ota scores his 3 goal in 16 matches.
  • 15' - 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 Yuzuru Shimada suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - Urawa Red Diamonds is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' - It looks surprising Albirex Niigata does not make any changes. Takahiro Akimoto has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 34' - GOAL! Hiroki Sakai scores on 34.
  • 35' - What a strike from Hiroki Sakai! The score is 2-1.
  • 40' - It looks like no one’s ball. Albirex Niigata is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 45' - 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.
  • 47' - GOAL! Takahiro Akimoto scores on 45.
  • 52' - It’s high time Maciej Skorza made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 57' - Albirex Niigata started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 57.
  • 62' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 67' - Michael James Fitzgerald needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 68' - Yoshio Koizumi is having his name booked by the referee on 68.
  • 69' - Another change for Urawa Red Diamonds made on 69 minute. Shinzo Koroki leaves to be changed by Bryan Linssen.
  • 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' - Kaito Yasui is replacing Tomoaki Okubo for the Urawa Red Diamonds side.
  • 81' - 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.
  • 82' - The whistle greets Taiki Watanabe as he departs to be replaced by Yota Komi.
  • 83' - It’s a booking for Albirex Niigata player. Danilo gets a Yellow card.
