  • 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' - It’s high time Maciej Skorza made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' - 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.
  • 25' - Taiki Watanabe has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

  • 35' - Goal! Hiroki Sakai scores his 8 goal in 399 matches.
  • 40' - It looks surprising Albirex Niigata does not make any changes. Yuto Horigome has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

  • 47' - Goal! Takahiro Akimoto scores his 6 goal in 323 matches.

  • 57' - The travelling Albirex Niigata supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 62' - 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.
  • 67' - 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.
  • 68' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Yoshio Koizumi.
  • 69' - Bryan Linssen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Shinzo Koroki on 69 minute.
  • 72' - Gustavo Nescau is replacing Koji Suzuki for the Albirex Niigata side.
  • 76' - Another change for Urawa Red Diamonds made on 76 minute. Tomoaki Okubo leaves to be changed by Kaito Yasui.

  • 82' - The whistle greets Taiki Watanabe as he departs to be replaced by Yota Komi.
  • 83' - Albirex Niigata player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 88' - 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.
  • With this win, Urawa Red Diamonds is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
