  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' Kei Koizumi was booked on 10.
  • 15' FC Tōkyō are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 20' 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 Jakub Slowik suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nagoya Grampus needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 30' It looks surprising FC Tōkyō does not make any changes. Koki Tsukagawa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 40' It’s high time Albert Puig made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 59' Adailton is ready to make an impact after coming on for Koki Tsukagawa at the 59 minute mark.
  • 64' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 67' FC Tokyo receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 67.
  • 72' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 77' Another change for FC Tokyo made on 77 minute. Teruhito Nakagawa leaves to be changed by Kota Tawaratsumida.
  • 82' The whistle greets Kasper Junker as he departs to be replaced by Noriyoshi Sakai.
