Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for FC Tōkyō to score. At the same time, Nagoya Grampus does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Nagoya Grampus started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' The travelling Nagoya Grampus supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' Everton needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 30' 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.
- 31' GOAL! Keita Yamashita scores on 31. Assisted by Kein Sato
- 36' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yuya Yamagishi, as he is very good at scoring at Ajinomoto Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 41' Nagoya Grampus manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yuya Asano is hanging Teruki Hara on the field on 41 minute.
- 46' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 51' Nagoya Grampus is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 56' 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.

- 75' The supporters are chanting for Kensuke Nagai. He replaces Ryuji Izumi on 75 minute.
- 80' 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 Ryuji Izumi suffering a number of foals already.
- 84' Another change for Nagoya Grampus made on 84 minute. Mateus leaves to be changed by Tsukasa Morishima.
- 89' The referee calls foul for Kensuke Nagai. He receives a card.
