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 Shonan Bellmare for another epic battle.
- 5' 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.

- 14' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 14 minutes.
- 19' Urawa Red Diamonds are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Shonan Bellmare backline.
- 24' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.

- 59' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
