Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Todoroki Athletics Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Kawasaki Frontale and Nagoya Grampus.
5' Yuki Nogami is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kawasaki Frontale tonight.
9' Kasper Junker does the damage! The net is bulging and Nagoya Grampus surge ahead!
14' Kawasaki Frontale is showing some good football. However, Kawasaki Frontale are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
19' Kawasaki Frontale started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 19.
24' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kento Tachibanada made 439 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
29' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Kawasaki Frontale and Nagoya Grampus are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
34' It’s high time Toru Oniki made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
39' Over 39 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
44' Kawasaki Frontale currently sit 13 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
45' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Mateus makes no mistake. 0-2!
47' A goal from the Brazil international Mateus! He fires home on 45 to make it 0-3!
52' 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 Shinnosuke Nakatani suffering a number of foals already.
56' What composure from Taisei Miyashiro! The Japan international strokes it home. 1-3.
57' GOAL! Taisei Miyashiro fires home to make it 2-3!

69' Fresh legs for Nagoya Grampus! Kazuki Nagasawa comes on to replace Kasper Junker.
74' Joao Schmidt is replacing Akihiro Ienaga for the Kawasaki Frontale side.

83' Another change for Kawasaki Frontale made on 83 minute. Yasuto Wakizaka leaves to be changed by Tatsuki Seko.
88' The home supporters are growing impatient. Kawasaki Frontale must find a spark to ignite this game.
