Events

Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Nagoya Grampus and Kashima Antlers get this one started.
5' Kashima Antlers have won 468 goals from 447 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
20' Kashima Antlers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
25' The energy levels are beginning to show. Naoki Soma might look to freshen things up shortly.
30' The home supporters are growing impatient. Nagoya Grampus must find a spark to ignite this game.
32' What a strike from Tomoya Inukai! The score is 0-1.
33' Tomoya Inukai doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
38' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Nagoya Grampus and Kashima Antlers are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
42' Yoichiro Kakitani has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ryogo Yamasaki on 42 minute.
47' Over 47 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
52' Ryogo Yamasaki has been relatively quiet despite scoring 21 goals in his last 418 appearances.
53' Another substitution for Kashima Antlers to replace Yasushi Endo by Ryotaro Araki on 53 minute.
56' Time for substitution for Nagoya Grampus. Manabu Saito is replaced by Gabriel Xavier.
57' The crowd applauds Manabu Saito as he leaves the pitch. Gabriel Xavier steps in for Nagoya Grampus.
62' It looks like no one’s ball. Nagoya Grampus is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
67' Shumpei Naruse has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
70' The supporters are chanting for Ayase Ueda. He replaces Juan on 70 minute.
75' 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.
79' Nagoya Grampus manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yasuki Kimoto is hanging Takuji Yonemoto on the field on 79 minute.
84' Kei Koizumi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
86' Assisted by Ryotaro Araki with the perfectly-timed delivery and Daiki Sugioka makes no mistake. 0-3!
88' Kento Misao is replacing Ryota Nagaki for the Kashima Antlers side.
90' Nagoya Grampus receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
