Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Nagoya Grampus kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Naomichi Ueda has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 10' 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 397 goals.
  • 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' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 22' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Leo Ceara makes it 1-0.

  • 35' Nagoya Grampus fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 40' It looks surprising Nagoya Grampus does not make any changes. Yan Santos has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 43' The supporters are chanting for Yuta Matsumura. He replaces Yan Santos on 43 minute.
  • 45' That is a card for Kashima Antlers. Yuma Suzuki will be fuming at that decision.
  • 46' Nagoya Grampus ring the changes. Yuki Nogami has done his job and it is now time for Shuhei Tokumoto to step up.
  • 48' It’s a booking for Kashima Antlers player. Leo Ceara gets a card.
  • 53' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 54' A goal from the Japan international Naomichi Ueda! He fires home on 54 to make it 1-1!
  • 55' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Naomichi Ueda makes no mistake. 1-2!
  • 60' The energy levels are beginning to show. Mihailo Petrović might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 65' Mateus is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Nagoya Grampus so far.
  • 69' Kashima Antlers ring the changes. Matheus Bueno has done his job and it is now time for Gaku Shibasaki to step up.
