Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Kashiwa Reysol kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Hidekazu Otani has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 411 appearances.
- 10' Takuya Iwanami needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Urawa Red Diamonds side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 25' 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.
- 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Urawa Red Diamonds winning 50% of all matches.
- 35' Japan international Ryohei Yamazaki has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 45' Urawa Red Diamonds has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
- 50' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Nozomu Kato will be considering his options from the bench.
- 55' It’s high time Oswaldo de Oliveira made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 60' Urawa Red Diamonds looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Ryoma Watanabe scoring 1 goals.
- 65' It is a cagey affair so far. Urawa Red Diamonds in their trying to find a way past Kashiwa Reysol's compact .
- 70' 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 Daisuke Suzuki suffering a number of foals already.
- 75' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 80' Urawa Red Diamonds started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 80.
- 85' Kashiwa Reysol fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 90' The travelling Kashiwa Reysol supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-2.
