- 5' Nagoya Grampus have won 402 goals from 443 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Kyoto Sanga FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 20' Kyoto Sanga FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 25' Nagoya Grampus is showing some good football. However, Nagoya Grampus are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 30' Ryoya Morishita is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Nagoya Grampus so far.

- 55' The supporters are chanting for Fuki Yamada. He replaces Ryogo Yamasaki on 55 minute.
- 60' A moment of madness from Noriyoshi Sakai on 60 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Nagoya Grampus will be frustrated.
- 60' Nagoya Grampus ring the changes. Yoichiro Kakitani has done his job and it is now time for Noriyoshi Sakai to step up.
- 65' Naoto Kamifukumoto has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 70' A change in the Kyoto Sanga FC ranks — Shimpei Fukuoka exits the field as Kazuma Nagai enters on 70.
- 75' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 76' The Nagoya Grampus bench stirs into life. Keiya Sento is withdrawn and Mu Kanazaki gets his opportunity.
- 81' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
