Events

Match Events

0' The ball is rolling at Saitama Stadium 2002. Urawa Red Diamonds are looking to make home advantage count against FC Tōkyō.
5' FC Tōkyō have won 396 goals from 437 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
6' A tactical swap from Urawa Red Diamonds — Takuya Ogiwara on, Hiroki Sakai off on 6 minutes.
11' Japan international Leon Nozawa has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
16' FC Tōkyō fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
21' 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.
26' The 32-year-old Yasuki Kimoto has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
31' It is a cagey affair so far. Urawa Red Diamonds in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past FC Tōkyō's compact 4-2-1-3.
36' FC Tōkyō looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
41' 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.
46' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
51' 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.
53' A moment of madness from Ayumu Ohata on 53 minutes earns him a card. Urawa Red Diamonds will be frustrated.
58' Over 58 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
61' The referee shows FC Tokyo player a card on 61.
66' Urawa Red Diamonds ring the changes. Shinzo Koroki has done his job and it is now time for Jose Kante to step up.
67' Toshiki Takahashi gets the nod from Urawa Red Diamonds. He replaces Ken Iwao and will look to change the dynamic.
69' The FC Tokyo bench stirs into life. Diego Oliveira is withdrawn and Perotti gets his opportunity.
74' Marius Hoibraten has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
76' Leon Nozawa gets the nod from FC Tokyo. He replaces Kota Tawaratsumida and will look to change the dynamic.
77' The crowd applauds Atsuki Ito as he leaves the pitch. Yuichi Hirano steps in for Urawa Red Diamonds.
82' Urawa Red Diamonds are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
85' Fresh legs for FC Tokyo! Seiji Kimura comes on to replace Ryoma Watanabe.
90' It’s high time Peter Cklamovski made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
It finishes all square. Urawa Red Diamonds and FC Tōkyō share the spoils 0-0.
