Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Nagoya Grampus kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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 Ryuga Tashiro suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' A meaty challenge results in booking for Yoshiaki Takagi on 10.
- 15' 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.
- 20' Yota Sato needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 25' It’s high time Toru Irie made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Albirex Niigata that had 93 games and scored 103 goals.
- 35' Taiki Arai has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 40' 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.
- 45' Albirex Niigata started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 45.
- 50' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tsukasa Morishima, as he is very good at scoring at Denka Big Swan Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

- 57' Another substitution for Nagoya Grampus to replace Shuhei Tokumoto by Katsuhiro Nakayama on 57 minute.
