Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Saitama Stadium 2002 will turn into a battlefield for Urawa Red Diamonds and Kawasaki Frontale.
5' Kawasaki Frontale is showing some good football. However, Kawasaki Frontale are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

15' Atsuki Ito has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 13 cards already picked up this season.

40' Kawasaki Frontale 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.

57' Another substitution for Urawa Red Diamonds to replace Atsuki Ito by Yuki Abe on 57 minute.
62' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kawasaki Frontale that had 443 games and scored 564 goals.

72' Takahiro Akimoto gets the nod from Urawa Red Diamonds. He replaces Yoshio Koizumi and will look to change the dynamic.

88' The supporters are chanting for Tatsuya Tanaka. He replaces Ryosuke Yamanaka on 88 minute.
89' Kento Tachibanada gets the nod from Kawasaki Frontale. He replaces Yasuto Wakizaka and will look to change the dynamic.
