Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Nagoya Grampus host FC Tokyo — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' Nagoya Grampus are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against FC Tokyo's shape.
  • 15' Nagoya Grampus 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.
  • 20' Naoki Maeda is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Tokyo so far.
  • 22' The supporters are chanting for Takumi Nakamura. He replaces Hotaka Nakamura on 22 minute.
  • 27' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tokyo that had 441 games and scored 404 goals.
  • 32' Over 32 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 37' Makoto Okazaki has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 42' The travelling FC Tokyo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 47' Both keepers have barely been tested. Nagoya Grampus and FC Tokyo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 49' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Yutaka Yoshida on 49 minutes.
  • 54' 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 Takuji Yonemoto suffering a number of foals already.
  • 57' Time for substitution for Nagoya Grampus. Naoki Maeda is replaced by Manabu Saito.
  • 62' Takuya Uchida has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
  • 63' Hirotaka Mita makes way for Shuto Abe at the 63 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Tokyo.
  • 64' A change in the FC Tokyo ranks — Kyosuke Tagawa exits the field as Kensuke Nagai enters on 64.
  • 65' A goal from the Japan international Masato Morishige! He fires home on 65 to make it 0-1!
  • 70' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 75' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Hotaka Nakamura made 441 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 78' Ryogo Yamasaki gets the nod from Nagoya Grampus. He replaces Yoichiro Kakitani and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 81' The referee calls foul for Tsuyoshi Watanabe. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 82' The supporters are chanting for Takuya Uchida. He replaces Keigo Higashi on 82 minute.
  • 86' Nagoya Grampus manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kazuki Nagasawa is hanging Mateus on the field on 86 minute.
  • 90' The referee shows Nagoya Grampus player a Yellow card on 90.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 0-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
