Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Urawa Red Diamonds kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Kashima Antlers winning 100% of all matches.
  • 15' Kashima Antlers are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
  • 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Shusaku Nishikawa made 439 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 40' Mauricio needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 45' Urawa Red Diamonds is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 50' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 55' Yuma Suzuki has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 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 Kashima Antlers that had 447 games and scored 468 goals.
  • 70' 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.
  • 75' 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.
  • 80' 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 Tomoya Ugajin suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' The home supporters are growing impatient. Urawa Red Diamonds must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 90' Urawa Red Diamonds currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Urawa Red Diamonds 3-1 Kashima Antlers.
