Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Nagoya Grampus welcome Kawasaki Frontale for this crunch clash at Toyota Stadium.
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Toru Oniki will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' Kasper Junker has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 35' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 40' A quiet spell here at Toyota Stadium. Kawasaki Frontale seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 41' GOAL! Kasper Junker scores on 41.
  • 46' Japan international Ryota Oshima has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 51' named a 3-4-1-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-2-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 56' Shinnosuke Nakatani needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 19 Yellow cards this season.
  • 61' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 62' The crowd applauds Daiya Tono as he leaves the pitch. Shin Yamada steps in for Kawasaki Frontale.
  • 64' Ryuji Izumi does the damage! The net is bulging and Nagoya Grampus surge ahead!
  • 69' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nagoya Grampus needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 70' A change in the Kawasaki Frontale ranks — Taisei Miyashiro exits the field as Yusuke Segawa enters on 70.
  • 75' 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 Akinari Kawazura suffering a number of foals already.
  • 79' Kawasaki Frontale ring the changes. Ryota Oshima has done his job and it is now time for Tatsuki Seko to step up.
  • 84' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Nagoya Grampus winning 100% of all matches.
  • 85' Another substitution for Nagoya Grampus to replace Kensuke Nagai by Ryotaro Ishida on 85 minute.
  • 90' Nagoya Grampus ring the changes. Takuya Uchida has done his job and it is now time for Kazuki Nagasawa to step up.
  • Kawasaki Frontale will have plenty to reflect on. Nagoya Grampus were simply the better side today.
