Events

Match Events

0' Temperatures are rising at Saitama Stadium 2002 as Urawa Red Diamonds face off against Shimizu S-Pulse in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
5' It looks surprising Urawa Red Diamonds does not make any changes. Keita Nakamura has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
10' 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.
15' Shimizu S-Pulse are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
18' Valdo is replacing Akira Ibayashi for the Shimizu S-Pulse side.
23' Urawa Red Diamonds is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
28' 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 Teruki Hara suffering a number of foals already.
33' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
38' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
43' Ryosuke Yamanaka has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
46' Another change for Urawa Red Diamonds made on 46 minute. Tatsuya Tanaka leaves to be changed by Yoshio Koizumi.
51' Yusuke Goto has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 105 appearances.
56' A quiet spell here at Saitama Stadium 2002. Shimizu S-Pulse seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
61' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 61 minutes.
66' Shimizu S-Pulse is showing some good football. However, Shimizu S-Pulse are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
71' Urawa Red Diamonds ring the changes. Tomoaki Okubo has done his job and it is now time for Koya Yuruki to step up.
76' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
78' Daigo Nishi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ryosuke Yamanaka on 78 minute.
83' Shinzo Koroki, a Japan , has 3 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
86' A tactical swap from Urawa Red Diamonds — Shinzo Koroki on, Yuichi Hirano off on 86 minutes.
The final score is 0-1.
