Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. FC Tōkyō kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tōkyō that had 444 games and scored 409 goals.
  • 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Tatsuya Tanaka might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 20' Urawa Red Diamonds are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Tōkyō backline.
  • 25' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 30' Urawa Red Diamonds currently sit 10 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' 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.
  • 45' Urawa Red Diamonds have won 416 goals from 449 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 46' Ado Onaiwu makes way for Hiiro Komori at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Urawa Red Diamonds.
  • 51' 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 4-4-2.
  • 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
  • 61' Urawa Red Diamonds is showing some good football. However, Urawa Red Diamonds are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 63' Yusuke Matsuo gets the nod from Urawa Red Diamonds. He replaces Junpei Hayakawa and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 68' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 70' It is a substitution in FC Tokyo team. Marcelo Ryan is replaced by Teruhito Nakagawa on 70 minute.
  • 75' It looks surprising FC Tōkyō does not make any changes. Yoichi Naganuma has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 80' Urawa Red Diamonds are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 82' The crowd applauds Takuro Kaneko as he leaves the pitch. Takahiro Sekine steps in for Urawa Red Diamonds.
  • 84' Samuel Gustafson is replacing Kaito Yasui for the Urawa Red Diamonds side.
  • 89' Another change for FC Tokyo made on 89 minute. Kyota Tokiwa leaves to be changed by Takahiro Ko.
