In the J1 League match held on 20 May 2023, Avispa Fukuoka hosted Urawa Red Diamonds, where the stalemate dominated the full 90-minutes play, as the match ended in a goalless draw. Even though both teams exhibited a fierce competing spirit, they were unable to turn their efforts into tangible goals.

Statistically speaking, Avispa Fukuoka took more corner kicks with 6 attempts compared to Urawa Red Diamonds' 4. However, the superiority in corner kicks did not translate to scoring advantages for the home side. This may highlight the ineffectiveness of Avispa Fukuoka’s set-piece play or a commendable defensive solidity from Urawa Red Diamonds during those corner kicks.

One of the key aspects of this match was discipline. Both teams were awarded a yellow card, marking a significant impact on the tactical gameplay. Urawa Red Diamonds’ player was booked at 42:11 in the first half, while Avispa Fukuoka’s booking came a bit late, at 71:17 in the second half. The early caution for Urawa Red Diamonds could have contributed to a more cautious gameplay, potentially impacting their aggressiveness in attacking the opponent's goal.

In terms of offsides, Urawa Red Diamonds was caught offside twice, compared to Avispa Fukuoka’s single offside. This suggests a higher risk-taking approach from the away side, aiming to beat the defensive line of Avispa Fukuoka, although unsuccessfully, for the most part.

Overall, while the match was hard-fought, neither team was able to capitalize on their chances and the match ended without any goals scored. Both teams exhibited strong defensive performances, as evidenced by the low number of corner kicks and offsides. However, a lack of attacking creativity and finishing quality was clear on both ends of the field as no goals were scored. The failure to convert set-pieces into goals, particularly by Avispa Fukuoka, was another significant factor in the match's outcome.
