  • 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Shusaku Nishikawa, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yosuke Kashiwagi made 439 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' Urawa Red Diamonds is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 45' 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.
