Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Urawa Red Diamonds and Vegalta Sendai get this one started.
5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mauricio made 439 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
10' Yoshiki Matsushita has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 444 appearances.
15' Ewerton has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
19' Fresh legs for Urawa Red Diamonds! Fabricio comes on to replace Ewerton.
24' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Susumu Watanabe will be considering his options from the bench.
29' The home supporters are growing impatient. Urawa Red Diamonds must find a spark to ignite this game.
34' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Urawa Red Diamonds and Vegalta Sendai are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
39' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 39 minutes.
42' A goal from the Japan international Shinzo Koroki! He fires home on 42 to make it 1-0!
45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Keiya Shiihashi.
50' Kazuki Oiwa is having his name booked by the referee on 50.
51' Keiya Shiihashi catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Red card on 51.
53' Vegalta Sendai manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Shingo Tomita is hanging Naoki Ishihara on the field on 53 minute.
58' The Urawa Red Diamonds bench stirs into life. Yuki Muto is withdrawn and Kenyu Sugimoto gets his opportunity.
63' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
67' Kunimitsu Sekiguchi makes way for Takayoshi Ishihara at the 67 minute mark. A tactical switch from Vegalta Sendai.
72' Vegalta Sendai is showing some good football. However, Vegalta Sendai are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
76' Ramon Lopes is replacing Yoshiki Matsushita for the Vegalta Sendai side.
77' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Simao Junior.
82' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Urawa Red Diamonds that had 439 games and scored 403 goals.
87' A change in the Urawa Red Diamonds ranks — Shinzo Koroki exits the field as Yuki Abe enters on 87.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Urawa Red Diamonds players.
