Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Nagoya Grampus and FC Tokyo has kicked off!
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sho Inagaki made 335 appearances and scored 45 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' Masato Morishige has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tokyo that had 437 games and scored 396 goals.
- 25' FC Tokyo come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Nagoya Grampus must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 35' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kenta Hasegawa might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 37' A meaty challenge results in booking for Keita Yamashita on 37.
- 42' Takuya Uchida is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Tokyo tonight.
- 47' Kein Sato has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 5 goals this season.
- 52' Both keepers have barely been tested. Nagoya Grampus and FC Tokyo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 56' Time for substitution for FC Tokyo. Keita Yamashita is replaced by Marcelo Ryan.
- 61' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 64' Nagoya Grampus ring the changes. Ryuji Izumi has done his job and it is now time for Yuya Asano to step up.
- 65' What a moment for Yota Sato! That strike on 65 puts his side firmly in control.
- 70' 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.
- 73' The supporters are chanting for Yudai Kimura. He replaces Kensuke Nagai on 73 minute.
- 74' A change in the FC Tokyo ranks — Leon Nozawa exits the field as Keita Endo enters on 74.
- 77' Another substitution for FC Tokyo to replace Keigo Higashi by Kanta Doi on 77 minute.
- 82' The Japan Keita Endo breaks the deadlock on 82 minutes. 1-1!
- 87' Yuya Yamagishi, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 90' Marcos Guilherme has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 90.
- What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Nagoya Grampus 1-1 FC Tokyo.
