Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: FC Tōkyō gets underway.
  • 5' Takuya Iwanami has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Urawa Red Diamonds and FC Tōkyō are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 15' Urawa Red Diamonds are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Tōkyō backline.
  • 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' The home supporters are growing impatient. Urawa Red Diamonds must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 30' 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.
  • 35' Urawa Red Diamonds is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 40' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 45' 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 Yuki Abe suffering a number of foals already.
  • 50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Takuya Aoki made 439 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 55' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 60' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tōkyō that had 437 games and scored 396 goals.
  • 70' Urawa Red Diamonds started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 70.
  • 75' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 75 minutes.
  • 80' Urawa Red Diamonds currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 85' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Urawa Red Diamonds side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 90' FC Tōkyō fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 3-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
