Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Toyota Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' 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 Naoki Nomura suffering a number of foals already.
  • 7' What a strike from Sho Inagaki! The score is 1-0.
  • 8' What composure from Sho Inagaki! The Japan international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 13' Yuki Kobayashi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 18' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 18 minutes.
  • 23' Nagoya Grampus started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 23.
  • 28' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 33' Oita FC Trinita are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 38' Japan international Yoichiro Kakitani has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 43' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 46' Oita FC Trinita make a change. Ryosuke Tone trudges off to be replaced by Asahi Masuyama on 46 minutes.
  • 51' Oita FC Trinita come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 56' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 61' Both keepers have barely been tested. Nagoya Grampus and Oita FC Trinita are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 63' It is a substitution in Nagoya Grampus team. Yoichiro Kakitani is replaced by Jakub Swierczok on 63 minute.
  • 64' A tactical swap from Nagoya Grampus — Jakub Swierczok on, Yoichiro Kakitani off on 64 minutes.
  • 67' A change in the Oita FC Trinita ranks — Kento Haneda exits the field as Yuki Kobayashi enters on 67.
  • 72' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 73' The Nagoya Grampus bench stirs into life. Shumpei Naruse is withdrawn and Kazuki Nagasawa gets his opportunity.
  • 78' Nagoya Grampus currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 79' The crowd applauds Min-Tae Kim as he leaves the pitch. Haruya Fujii steps in for Nagoya Grampus.
  • 83' A tactical swap from Oita FC Trinita — Naoki Nomura on, Yuki Kagawa off on 83 minutes.
  • 88' 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.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Oita FC Trinita.
