- 0' The game is set. Vegalta Sendai kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kasper Junker made 61 appearances and scored 37 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Vegalta Sendai needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 15' 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 Kyohei Yoshino suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Koya Yuruki has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 16 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 22' Vegalta Sendai manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Felippe Cardoso is hanging Takuma Nishimura on the field on 22 minute.
- 27' It’s high time Ricardo Rodríguez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 31' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Yoshio Koizumi.
- 36' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 41' Vegalta Sendai started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 41.
- 46' Supporters expect more eagerness from Takuya Iwanami, as he is very good at scoring at Yurtec Stadium Sendai with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
- 53' Thomas Deng was booked on 53.
- 58' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 63' The travelling Urawa Red Diamonds supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 67' Another change for Urawa Red Diamonds made on 67 minute. Tatsuya Tanaka leaves to be changed by Shinzo Koroki.
- 72' It looks surprising Vegalta Sendai does not make any changes. Shinzo Koroki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 77' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 80' The whistle greets Kunimitsu Sekiguchi as he departs to be replaced by Ryoma Kida.
- 84' The supporters are chanting for Takahiro Sekine. He replaces Koya Yuruki on 84 minute.
- 87' Urawa Red Diamonds player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 87' Time for substitution for Vegalta Sendai. Chihiro Kato is replaced by Emmanuel Oti.
- 90' Felippe Cardoso was booked on 90.
- 90' Ryosuke Yamanaka has so much to prove this time. He replaces Takahiro Akimoto on 90 minute.
