Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Urawa Red Diamonds host Tōkyō Verdy — let the battle begin!

  • 6' Goal! Yusuke Matsuo scores his 25 goal in 143 matches.
  • 11' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 16' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 21' Urawa Red Diamonds is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

  • 46' Hijiri Onaga has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kaito Chida on 46 minute.
