Events

Match Events

0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Urawa Red Diamonds is hosting Nagoya Grampus for another epic battle.
5' Kazuki Kushibiki has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
10' Nagoya Grampus have won 412 goals from 452 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
15' Nagoya Grampus started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
20' Ikki Arai needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
25' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Yahiro Kazama will be considering his options from the bench.
40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
45' Tomoaki Makino, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
50' Nagoya Grampus are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
55' 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.
60' Urawa Red Diamonds currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
65' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
70' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
75' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
80' Urawa Red Diamonds are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Nagoya Grampus backline.
85' It looks surprising Urawa Red Diamonds does not make any changes. Keiji Tamada has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
90' 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.
Another three points for Urawa Red Diamonds.
