Events

Match Events

  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Cerezo Osaka FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' Hiroshi Kiyotake has been relatively quiet despite scoring 21 goals in his last 369 appearances.
  • 20' Riku Matsuda, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 29' The Nagoya Grampus manager makes a substitution. Yutaka Yoshida departs to be replaced by Shumpei Naruse.
  • 34' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Oh Jaeseok made 403 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 39' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

  • 58' Fresh legs for Nagoya Grampus! Hiroyuki Abe comes on to replace Naoki Maeda.
  • 63' Cerezo Osaka FC is showing some good football. However, Cerezo Osaka FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 72' Nagoya Grampus player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
