- 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Urawa Red Diamonds needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

- 39' The referee shows Urawa Red Diamonds player a card on 39.
- 44' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cerezo Osaka FC that had 347 games and scored 372 goals.
- 49' 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.
- 54' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 58' Another substitution for Cerezo Osaka FC to replace Thiago Andrade by Reiya Sakata on 58 minute.
- 63' It looks surprising Cerezo Osaka FC does not make any changes. Kyohei Noborizato has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 67' Another substitution for Urawa Red Diamonds to replace Matheus Savio by Thiago Santana on 67 minute.
- 72' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

- 80' Another change for Urawa Red Diamonds made on 80 minute. Yoichi Naganuma leaves to be changed by Takuya Ogiwara.
- 85' 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 Koki Fukui suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' 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.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-0.
