Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! FC Tōkyō vs Nagoya Grampus — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' FC Tōkyō are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Nagoya Grampus backline.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nagoya Grampus that had 452 games and scored 412 goals.
  • 15' The 36-year-old Diego Oliveira has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Nagoya Grampus come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 30' FC Tōkyō has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 40' Yukinari Sugawara has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 45' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 50' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 55' FC Tōkyō are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Nagoya Grampus's shape.
  • 60' Yuichi Maruyama has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 65' FC Tōkyō currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 70' FC Tōkyō are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 75' 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.
  • 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 Sotan Tanabe suffering a number of foals already.
  • 85' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Yahiro Kazama will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 90' Over 90 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • The final score is 3-2.
