Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. Vissel Kobe get us underway at Saitama Stadium 2002.
5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Maciej Skorza might look to freshen things up shortly.
15' The 32-year-old Takuya Iwanami has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
20' Ken Iwao was booked on 20.
25' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Urawa Red Diamonds side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Maciej Skorza will be considering his options from the bench.
40' Ekanit Panya is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Urawa Red Diamonds tonight.
45' It’s high time Maciej Skorza made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
50' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
54' The Urawa Red Diamonds manager makes a substitution. Atsuki Ito departs to be replaced by Kai Shibato.
59' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Urawa Red Diamonds that had 455 games and scored 423 goals.
64' 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.
69' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
72' Vissel Kobe is taking the lead after the goal scored by Thuler on 72.
77' A change in the Urawa Red Diamonds ranks — Yoshio Koizumi exits the field as Toshiki Takahashi enters on 77.
78' Jean Patric has so much to prove this time. He replaces Haruya Ide on 78 minute.
83' Urawa Red Diamonds are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Vissel Kobe's 4-2-3-1 shape.
84' Bryan Linssen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ken Iwao on 84 minute.
89' Nanasei Iino is replacing Ryo Hatsuse for the Vissel Kobe side.
