Events

Match Events

  • 5' Nagoya Grampus are deployed in a 3-4-1-2 today, looking to exploit space against Avispa Fukuoka's 4-4-2 shape.

  • 18' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 19' That is a card for Avispa Fukuoka. Hiroyuki Mae will be fuming at that decision.
  • 24' Yosuke Ideguchi has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 317 appearances.
  • 29' Over 29 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 34' It looks like no one’s ball. Nagoya Grampus is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 39' Nagoya Grampus is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 43' Avispa Fukuoka player sees a card in front of him.
  • 45' Magnificent from Mateus! That is 40 goals in 443 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 50' With 0 assists to his name this season, Hiroyuki Mae is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Avispa Fukuoka.
  • 55' Nagoya Grampus have won 402 goals from 443 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

  • 69' Magnificent from Kasper Junker! That is 42 goals in 63 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 73' Ryoga Kida gets the nod from Nagoya Grampus. He replaces Kensuke Nagai and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 77' Time for substitution for Avispa Fukuoka. Ryoga Sato is replaced by Wellington.
  • 82' 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.
  • 87' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 88' A tactical swap from Avispa Fukuoka — Kennedy Egbus Mikuni on, Hiroyuki Mae off on 88 minutes.
  • 90' Nagoya Grampus ring the changes. Kasper Junker has done his job and it is now time for Takuya Shigehiro to step up.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Nagoya Grampus to claim maximum points.
