  • 25' Shintaro Kurumaya has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 30' Nagoya Grampus are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 35' The travelling Kawasaki Frontale supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 40' Nagoya Grampus started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
  • 41' Kasper Junker is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .

  • 75' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
