Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Yokohama F·Marinos kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It looks surprising Urawa Red Diamonds does not make any changes. Riku Yamane has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Urawa Red Diamonds side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 15' Urawa Red Diamonds currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 20' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 25' It’s high time Maciej Skorza made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Elber made 325 appearances and scored 40 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Yokohama F·Marinos winning 50% of all matches.
- 40' Atsuki Ito, a Japan , has 1 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 45' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 46' A change in the Urawa Red Diamonds ranks — Jose Kante exits the field as Shinzo Koroki enters on 46.
- 51' 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 Hiroki Iikura suffering a number of foals already.
- 53' Tomoaki Okubo is having his name booked by the referee on 53.
- 56' Poor challenge from Ken Iwao. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 59' Marcos Junior has so much to prove this time. He replaces Takuma Nishimura on 59 minute.
- 64' Yokohama F·Marinos 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.
- 68' The supporters are chanting for Ayumu Ohata. He replaces Takuya Ogiwara on 68 minute.
- 73' The 33-year-old Ryo Miyaichi has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 76' Yokohama F.Marinos make a change. Elber trudges off to be replaced by Kota Mizunuma on 76 minutes.
- 81' Urawa Red Diamonds is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 83' A tactical swap from Urawa Red Diamonds — Shoya Nakajima on, Ken Iwao off on 83 minutes.
- 88' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 90' A tactical swap from Urawa Red Diamonds — Kai Shibato on, Atsuki Ito off on 90 minutes.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
