Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Saitama Stadium 2002 that hosts another battle between Urawa Red Diamonds and Albirex Niigata.
  • 5' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' - Albirex Niigata is taking the lead after the goal scored by Shusuke Ota on 10.
  • 15' - 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.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - 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 Ryotaro Ito suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' - Albirex Niigata started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
  • 34' - What an equalizer from Hiroki Sakai!
  • 35' - GOAL! Hiroki Sakai scores on 35.
  • 40' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alexander Scholz made 199 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 45' - It looks surprising Urawa Red Diamonds does not make any changes. Takahiro Sekine has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 47' - Goal! Takahiro Akimoto scores his 6 goal in 323 matches.
  • 52' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 57' - 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.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - 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.
  • 68' - Yoshio Koizumi was booked on 68.
  • 69' - The whistle greets Shinzo Koroki as he departs to be replaced by Bryan Linssen.
  • 72' - The whistle greets Koji Suzuki as he departs to be replaced by Gustavo Nescau.
  • 76' - The whistle greets Tomoaki Okubo as he departs to be replaced by Kaito Yasui.
  • 81' - The travelling Albirex Niigata supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 82' - Yota Komi is replacing Taiki Watanabe for the Albirex Niigata side.
  • 83' - Danilo is having his name booked by the referee on 83.
  • 88' - 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.
