Events

Match Events

0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Nagoya Grampus is hosting Kawasaki Frontale for another epic battle.
3' Magnificent from Reo Hatate! That is 37 goals in 443 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
8' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
10' Brilliant from the ! Leandro Damiao makes it 0-2 with a superb finish on 10.
15' The home supporters are growing impatient. Nagoya Grampus must find a spark to ignite this game.
20' Nagoya Grampus currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
23' What a moment for Leandro Damiao! That strike on 23 puts his side firmly in control.
28' Japan international Kaoru Mitoma has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
30' The Nagoya Grampus bench stirs into life. Ryogo Yamasaki is withdrawn and Kazuki Nagasawa gets his opportunity.
35' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
40' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
45' Koki Tsukagawa has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 34 appearances.
50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryogo Yamasaki made 418 appearances and scored 21 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
51' Reo Hatate catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 51.
56' The travelling Kawasaki Frontale supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
61' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
66' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

72' The Kawasaki Frontale manager makes a substitution. Kaoru Mitoma departs to be replaced by Yasuto Wakizaka.
77' The Kawasaki Frontale bench stirs into life. Reo Hatate is withdrawn and Daiya Tono gets his opportunity.
82' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nagoya Grampus that had 443 games and scored 402 goals.
84' Daiya Tono does the damage! The net is bulging and Kawasaki Frontale surge ahead!
85' Manabu Saito is replacing Mateus for the Nagoya Grampus side.
86' A change in the Nagoya Grampus ranks — Takuji Yonemoto exits the field as Gabriel Xavier enters on 86.
