Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Sanga Stadium by KYOCERA will turn into a battlefield for Kyoto Sanga FC and Nagoya Grampus.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 15' 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 Yoshinori Suzuki suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kenta Hasegawa might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 30' Nagoya Grampus fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.

  • 46' Joao Pedro Mendes makes way for Masaya Okugawa at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kyoto Sanga FC.
  • 51' Kyoto Sanga FC 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.
  • 56' It looks surprising Kyoto Sanga FC does not make any changes. Shohei Takeda has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
