  • 10' - GOAL! Shusuke Ota scores on 10.
  • 15' - Tomoaki Okubo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 20' - 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 Thomas Deng suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - It’s high time Maciej Skorza made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 47' - What a strike from Takahiro Akimoto! The score is 3-1.
  • 52' - It looks surprising Albirex Niigata does not make any changes. Yota Komi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 57' - 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.
