Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Avispa Fukuoka gets underway.
- 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' Yota Maejima has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' Shintaro Nago has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Urawa Red Diamonds that had 440 games and scored 404 goals.
- 35' 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.
- 40' The travelling Avispa Fukuoka supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 45' A quiet spell here at Saitama Stadium 2002. Urawa Red Diamonds seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 50' 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 Tomoya Ando suffering a number of foals already.
- 55' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Urawa Red Diamonds side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 58' The Avispa Fukuoka bench stirs into life. Masato Yuzawa is withdrawn and Yota Maejima gets his opportunity.

- 68' The home supporters are growing impatient. Urawa Red Diamonds must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 73' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 78' Wellington needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 12 Yellow cards this season.
- 82' The Urawa Red Diamonds manager makes a substitution. Matheus Savio departs to be replaced by Taishi Matsumoto.
- 87' Avispa Fukuoka are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 88' Kazuki Fujimoto is replacing Yuto Iwasaki for the Avispa Fukuoka side.
- 90' Controversy at the stadium! Hirokazu Ishihara argues furiously but the card stands.
