Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Saitama Stadium 2002 that hosts another battle between Urawa Red Diamonds and Nagoya Grampus.
  • 5' Nagoya Grampus come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 20' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Urawa Red Diamonds and Nagoya Grampus are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 30' 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 Ryosuke Yamanaka suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 40' 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.
  • 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Shinnosuke Nakatani made 439 appearances and scored 20 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 46' Another substitution for Urawa Red Diamonds to replace Hidetoshi Takeda by Atsuki Ito on 46 minute.
  • 51' It looks surprising Nagoya Grampus does not make any changes. Mitch Langerak has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 56' Tatsuya Tanaka has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 61' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nagoya Grampus needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 62' Koya Yuruki gets the nod from Urawa Red Diamonds. He replaces Ryosuke Yamanaka and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 63' A change in the Urawa Red Diamonds ranks — Ryosuke Yamanaka exits the field as Koya Yuruki enters on 63.
  • 68' The 32-year-old Takuya Iwanami has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 73' Urawa Red Diamonds have won 403 goals from 439 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 74' Nagoya Grampus manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kazuki Nagasawa is hanging Yuki Soma on the field on 74 minute.
  • 79' Yoshio Koizumi makes way for Yuki Muto at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from Urawa Red Diamonds.
  • 84' Yoichiro Kakitani has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 87' Shinzo Koroki is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kasper Junker at the 87 minute mark.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
