Events

Match Events

0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Nagoya Grampus launch into their encounter with Kawasaki Frontale.
5' Yuichi Maruyama has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kawasaki Frontale that had 444 games and scored 567 goals.
15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
25' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jung Sungryong is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Nagoya Grampus.
30' Hokuto Shimoda has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
40' Nagoya Grampus are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Kawasaki Frontale backline.
44' Against the run of play, Mu Kanazaki has scored! This game has turned on its head.
46' The Kawasaki Frontale bench stirs into life. Yasuto Wakizaka is withdrawn and Ryota Ohshima gets his opportunity.
51' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 51 minutes.
53' Fresh legs for Nagoya Grampus! Yuki Soma comes on to replace Gabriel Xavier.
58' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
61' Yu Kobayashi is replacing Leandro Damiao for the Kawasaki Frontale side.
66' The 35-year-old Shogo Taniguchi has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
71' It is a substitution in Kawasaki Frontale team. Akihiro Ienaga is replaced by Ao Tanaka on 71 minute.
74' Taisei Miyashiro is replacing Kaoru Mitoma for the Kawasaki Frontale side.
79' The Nagoya Grampus bench stirs into life. Naoki Maeda is withdrawn and Oh Jaeseok gets his opportunity.
84' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
87' Another substitution for Nagoya Grampus to replace Mateus by Ryogo Yamasaki on 87 minute.
90' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mitch Langerak on 90.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Nagoya Grampus players.
