Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Nagoya Grampus and FC Tōkyō get this one started.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Nagoya Grampus and FC Tōkyō are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 10' Nagoya Grampus are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Tōkyō backline.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Nagoya Grampus is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Nagoya Grampus and FC Tōkyō are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Nagoya Grampus side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tōkyō that had 437 games and scored 396 goals.
  • 50' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 55' 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.
  • 60' Yuichi Maruyama is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Nagoya Grampus so far.
  • 65' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 70' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 75' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Tōkyō needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 80' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 85' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 90' 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 Jo suffering a number of foals already.
  • The points are shared — Nagoya Grampus 1-2 FC Tōkyō. Honours even.
