Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Nagoya Grampus to score. At the same time, Kawasaki Frontale does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' The travelling Kawasaki Frontale supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 7' Tatsuya Ito puts Kawasaki Frontale on the lead.
- 12' Kawasaki Frontale manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryota Kamihashi is hanging Yuichi Maruyama on the field on 12 minute.
- 17' GOAL! Erison scores on 17. Assisted by Yuki Yamamoto
- 22' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 22 minutes.
- 27' So Kawahara has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 32' What a strike from Soichiro Mori! The score is 1-2.
- 37' It looks surprising Nagoya Grampus does not make any changes. Sai van Wermeskerken has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 42' 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 Kensuke Nagai suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' Kawasaki Frontale receives a card for a hard tackle on 45.

- 56' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 61' It looks like no one’s ball. Kawasaki Frontale is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 65' Another substitution for Nagoya Grampus to replace Katsuhiro Nakayama by Shuhei Tokumoto on 65 minute.
- 70' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 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.
- 78' Kensuke Nagai has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yudai Kimura on 78 minute.
- 80' Erison puts Kawasaki Frontale on the lead.
