Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Urawa Red Diamonds and FC Tōkyō is underway.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Urawa Red Diamonds that had 439 games and scored 403 goals.
- 10' Hiroki Sakai is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Urawa Red Diamonds so far.
- 15' 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 Leandro suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ricardo Rodríguez will be considering his options from the bench.
- 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 30' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Urawa Red Diamonds and FC Tōkyō are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 31' with the perfectly-timed delivery and David Moberg-Karlsson makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 32' Magnificent from David Moberg-Karlsson! That is 13 goals in 46 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 37' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Urawa Red Diamonds side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 42' Keigo Higashi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 46' Kazuya Konno is replacing Yuki Kajiura for the FC Tokyo side.
- 50' Magnificent from Atsuki Ito! That is 15 goals in 439 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 56' FC Tokyo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Keita Yamashita is hanging Diego Oliveira on the field on 56 minute.
- 61' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 66' Another substitution for FC Tokyo to replace Keigo Higashi by Manato Shinada on 66 minute.
- 67' Urawa Red Diamonds ring the changes. Yusuke Matsuo has done his job and it is now time for Takahiro Akimoto to step up.
- 71' The Japan Tomoaki Okubo breaks the deadlock on 71 minutes. 4-0!
- 76' Urawa Red Diamonds manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tetsuya Chinen is hanging Takuya Iwanami on the field on 76 minute.
- 77' The whistle greets Takuya Iwanami as he departs to be replaced by Tetsuya Chinen.
- 82' FC Tōkyō fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 85' Makoto Okazaki has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kashif Bangunagande on 85 minute.
- 89' That is a Yellow card for Urawa Red Diamonds. Takahiro Sekine will be fuming at that decision.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Urawa Red Diamonds 3-0 FC Tōkyō.
