Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Toyota Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Nagoya Grampus and Kyoto Sanga FC.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kyoto Sanga FC that had 162 games and scored 189 goals.
  • 9' Goal! Yuya Yamagishi scores his 41 goal in 200 matches.
  • 14' It looks like no one’s ball. Nagoya Grampus is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 19' Haruya Fujii has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 24' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 28' Kyoto Sanga FC player sees a card in front of him.
  • 29' Goal! Yuya Yamagishi scores his 41 goal in 200 matches.
  • 34' Supporters expect more eagerness from Barreto, as he is very good at scoring at Toyota Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 36' Ryuji Izumi was booked on 36.
  • 41' Kyoto Sanga FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 44' Barreto was booked on 44.
  • 49' It’s high time Kwi-Jea Cho made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 54' Taiki Hirato needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 59' Kyoto Sanga FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 59.
  • 64' The travelling Kyoto Sanga FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 69' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 74' Nagoya Grampus 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.
  • 79' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 84' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 84 minutes.
  • 89' 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 Sho Inagaki suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' What a strike from Yuya Yamagishi! The score is 3-0.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for Nagoya Grampus and Kyoto Sanga FC (для сухой ничьи).
