Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Tokyo Verdy get us underway at Saitama Stadium 2002.
  • 5' The home supporters are growing impatient. Urawa Red Diamonds must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 10' Yuto Tsunashima has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Itsuki Someno, as he is very good at scoring at Saitama Stadium 2002 with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 20' Kohei Yamakoshi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Thiago Santana made 312 appearances and scored 69 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' Yoshio Koizumi, a Japan , has 11 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' Tokyo Verdy looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Itsuki Someno scoring 1 goals.
  • 42' What a strike from Yudai Kimura! The score is 0-1.
  • 45' Urawa Red Diamonds receives a card for a hard tackle on 45.
  • 50' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 55' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Urawa Red Diamonds side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 60' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 61' The Urawa Red Diamonds bench stirs into life. Yoshio Koizumi is withdrawn and Ayumu Ohata gets his opportunity.
  • 66' The travelling Tokyo Verdy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 69' The referee has no hesitation. Ayumu Ohata is booked for Urawa Red Diamonds — card on 69.
  • 73' Urawa Red Diamonds make a change. Yusuke Matsuo trudges off to be replaced by Shoya Nakajima on 73 minutes.
  • 74' Yuto Tsunashima has so much to prove this time. He replaces Koki Morita on 74 minute.
  • 79' 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 Hijiri Onaga suffering a number of foals already.
  • 82' A tactical swap from Urawa Red Diamonds — Toshiki Takahashi on, Samuel Gustafson off on 82 minutes.
  • 83' The Tokyo Verdy bench stirs into life. Yudai Kimura is withdrawn and Goki Yamada gets his opportunity.
  • 84' Tokyo Verdy make a change. Kosuke Saito trudges off to be replaced by Keito Kawamura on 84 minutes.
  • 89' The Denmark Alexander Scholz breaks the deadlock on 89 minutes. 1-1!
  • 90' A moment of madness from Hiroki Sakai on 90 minutes earns him a card. Urawa Red Diamonds will be frustrated.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
