Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Saitama Stadium 2002 will turn into a battlefield for Urawa Red Diamonds and Avispa Fukuoka.
- 5' Avispa Fukuoka started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Urawa Red Diamonds that had 416 games and scored 373 goals.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marius Hoibraten, as he is very good at scoring at Saitama Stadium 2002 with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 20' The travelling Avispa Fukuoka supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' Tomoya Ando needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 30' Yusuke Matsuo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 40' 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.
- 45' Avispa Fukuoka 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.
- 50' It’s high time Myung-Hwi Kim made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 55' Avispa Fukuoka is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 58' Time for substitution for Avispa Fukuoka. Masato Yuzawa is replaced by Yota Maejima.
- 63' Hiiro Komori is replacing Thiago Santana for the Urawa Red Diamonds side.
- 68' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 73' 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.
- 78' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 82' It is a substitution in Urawa Red Diamonds team. Matheus Savio is replaced by Taishi Matsumoto on 82 minute.
- 87' 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 Danilo Boza suffering a number of foals already.
- 88' Another change for Avispa Fukuoka made on 88 minute. Yuto Iwasaki leaves to be changed by Kazuki Fujimoto.
- 90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Hirokazu Ishihara on 90.
