Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Urawa Red Diamonds host FC Tōkyō — let the battle begin!
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Urawa Red Diamonds that had 439 games and scored 403 goals.
- 10' Takuya Aoki, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 15' With 0 assists to his name this season, Kento Hashimoto is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Tōkyō.
- 20' FC Tōkyō looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kenta Hasegawa might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Tōkyō is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' Takefusa Kubo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 40' Sei Muroya has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 45' Tomoya Ugajin needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 46' Another change for Urawa Red Diamonds made on 46 minute. Yosuke Kashiwagi leaves to be changed by Quenten Martinus.
- 51' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 56' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with FC Tōkyō winning 50% of all matches.
- 61' 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 Kensuke Nagai suffering a number of foals already.
- 62' The FC Tokyo manager makes a substitution. Kensuke Nagai departs to be replaced by Takefusa Kubo.
- 67' FC Tōkyō 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.
- 69' The referee calls foul for Yojiro Takahagi. He receives a Yellow card.
- 74' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 75' Goal! Diego Oliveira scores his 87 goal in 437 matches.
- 76' Poor challenge from Diego Oliveira. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 81' Ryosuke Yamanaka is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Urawa Red Diamonds tonight.
- 82' Ryosuke Yamanaka has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tomoya Ugajin on 82 minute.
- 87' Urawa Red Diamonds are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 90' Assisted by Ryosuke Yamanaka with the perfectly-timed delivery and Ryota Moriwaki makes no mistake. 1-1!
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from to claim maximum points.
