Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Urawa Red Diamonds and Vissel Kobe is underway.
  • 5' Vissel Kobe seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 10' Thuler needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 18 Yellow cards this season.
  • 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 20' The referee calls foul for Ken Iwao. He receives a card.
  • 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 35' Ekanit Panya is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Urawa Red Diamonds tonight.
  • 40' 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 Atsuki Ito suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' Daiya Maekawa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 50' 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.
  • 54' Kai Shibato gets the nod from Urawa Red Diamonds. He replaces Atsuki Ito and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 59' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 59 minutes.
  • 64' Urawa Red Diamonds currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 69' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Urawa Red Diamonds side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 72' Thuler adds to his 2 season tally! Vissel Kobe lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 77' A tactical swap from Urawa Red Diamonds — Toshiki Takahashi on, Yoshio Koizumi off on 77 minutes.
  • 78' Jean Patric gets the nod from Vissel Kobe. He replaces Haruya Ide and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 83' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 84' Another substitution for Urawa Red Diamonds to replace Ken Iwao by Bryan Linssen on 84 minute.
  • 89' A tactical swap from Vissel Kobe — Nanasei Iino on, Ryo Hatsuse off on 89 minutes.
  • It finishes all square. Urawa Red Diamonds and Vissel Kobe share the spoils 1-2.
