Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Urawa Red Diamonds and Cerezo Osaka FC is underway.
  • 5' Urawa Red Diamonds started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' Taishi Matsumoto needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cerezo Osaka FC that had 369 games and scored 396 goals.
  • 20' It looks surprising Cerezo Osaka FC does not make any changes. Ryuya Nishio has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Hirokazu Ishihara made 418 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 29' A meaty challenge results in booking for Thiago Andrade on 29.
  • 34' 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 Takahiro Sekine suffering a number of foals already.
  • 39' A meaty challenge results in booking for Hirokazu Ishihara on 39.
  • 44' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 49' The travelling Cerezo Osaka FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 54' 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.
  • 58' Another substitution for Cerezo Osaka FC to replace Thiago Andrade by Reiya Sakata on 58 minute.
  • 63' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 67' Another substitution for Urawa Red Diamonds to replace Matheus Savio by Thiago Santana on 67 minute.
  • 72' 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.
  • 75' Urawa Red Diamonds manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tomoaki Okubo is hanging Takuro Kaneko on the field on 75 minute.
  • 80' The supporters are chanting for Takuya Ogiwara. He replaces Yoichi Naganuma on 80 minute.
  • 85' It looks like no one’s ball. Cerezo Osaka FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 90' 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.
