Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Denka Big Swan Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' That looks like a foul for a card for Yoshiaki Takagi.
  • 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' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nagoya Grampus that had 439 games and scored 396 goals.
  • 35' Nagoya Grampus is showing some good football. However, Nagoya Grampus are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 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' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 50' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 55' Nagoya Grampus 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.
  • 57' Katsuhiro Nakayama has so much to prove this time. He replaces Shuhei Tokumoto on 57 minute.
  • 61' Another substitution for Albirex Niigata to replace Yoshiaki Takagi by Abdelrahman Saidi on 61 minute.
  • 66' It’s high time Kenta Hasegawa made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 71' It looks surprising Nagoya Grampus does not make any changes. Kennedy Egbus Mikuni has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 73' Yuki Nogami was booked on 73.
  • 73' Another change for Albirex Niigata made on 73 minute. Kaito Taniguchi leaves to be changed by Jin Okumura.
  • 74' Hiroto Uemura is replacing Taiki Arai for the Albirex Niigata side.
  • 79' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 84' Shuhei Tokumoto has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 89' The travelling Nagoya Grampus supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 90' Albirex Niigata manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yamato Wakatsuki is hanging Motoki Hasegawa on the field on 90 minute.
  • The final score is 0-0.
