  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Kenta Hasegawa will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 15' The home supporters are growing impatient. Urawa Red Diamonds must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Takeshi Otsuki might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 25' Urawa Red Diamonds 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.

  • 40' Hirotaka Mita catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 40.
  • 45' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 46' The FC Tokyo bench stirs into life. Kyosuke Tagawa is withdrawn and Takuya Uchida gets his opportunity.
  • 51' Hirotaka Mita needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 56' Over 56 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 61' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 66' Fresh legs for Urawa Red Diamonds! Quentin Martinus comes on to replace Kazuki Nagasawa.
  • 68' The whistle greets Hirotaka Mita as he departs to be replaced by Taichi Hara.
