Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Saitama Stadium 2002. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Urawa Red Diamonds and FC Tokyo are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 15' FC Tokyo are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 20' Marcelo Ryan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 22 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
  • 25' 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 Fuki Yamada suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 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' Urawa Red Diamonds are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against FC Tokyo's 4-4-2 shape.
  • 45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 46' Another change for Urawa Red Diamonds made on 46 minute. Ado Onaiwu leaves to be changed by Hiiro Komori.
  • 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Rikizo Matsuhashi will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 56' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 61' It’s high time Rikizo Matsuhashi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 63' Yusuke Matsuo gets the nod from Urawa Red Diamonds. He replaces Junpei Hayakawa and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 68' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 70' FC Tokyo ring the changes. Marcelo Ryan has done his job and it is now time for Teruhito Nakagawa to step up.
  • 75' Ryunosuke Sato needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 80' FC Tokyo are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 82' Another substitution for Urawa Red Diamonds to replace Takuro Kaneko by Takahiro Sekine on 82 minute.
  • 84' A tactical swap from Urawa Red Diamonds — Samuel Gustafson on, Kaito Yasui off on 84 minutes.
  • 89' The supporters are chanting for Takahiro Ko. He replaces Kyota Tokiwa on 89 minute.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for FC Tokyo players.
