Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Sanfrecce Hiroshima kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It looks surprising Sanfrecce Hiroshima does not make any changes. Sho Sasaki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Takahiro Sekine has been relatively quiet despite scoring 16 goals in his last 267 appearances.
  • 14' Magnificent from Kazuaki Mawatari! That is 2 goals in 443 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 19' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ricardo Rodríguez will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 24' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 29' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 34' The travelling Sanfrecce Hiroshima supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 38' Poor challenge from Nassim Ben Khalifa. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 43' A quiet spell here at . Sanfrecce Hiroshima seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 46' Another substitution for Sanfrecce Hiroshima to replace Nassim Ben Khalifa by Taishi Matsumoto on 46 minute.
  • 51' The 27-year-old Makoto Mitsuta has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 53' That is a Yellow card for Urawa Red Diamonds. Yuichi Hirano will be fuming at that decision.
  • 58' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sanfrecce Hiroshima needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 60' Ataru Esaka is replacing Takahiro Sekine for the Urawa Red Diamonds side.
  • 65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
  • 70' David Moberg-Karlsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 74' A change in the Urawa Red Diamonds ranks — Atsuki Ito exits the field as Kai Shibato enters on 74.
  • 79' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 83' Kai Shibato was booked on 83.
  • 84' Kosei Shibasaki is replacing Tsukasa Morishima for the Sanfrecce Hiroshima side.
  • 87' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Gakuto Notsuda.
  • 90' Ryo Nagai has so much to prove this time. He replaces Junior Santos on 90 minute.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
