- 35' 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.
- 40' 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 Alexander Scholz suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' It’s high time Tatsuya Tanaka made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 61' 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.
- 63' Urawa Red Diamonds manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yusuke Matsuo is hanging Junpei Hayakawa on the field on 63 minute.
