Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Nagoya Grampus to score. At the same time, Sagan Tosu FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Ryuji Izumi is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Sagan Tosu FC tonight.
  • 10' 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 Hiromu Mitsumaru suffering a number of foals already.
  • 12' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ryuji Izumi.
  • 15' A tactical swap from Sagan Tosu FC — Yuzo Kobayashi on, Teruki Hara off on 15 minutes.
  • 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
  • 25' Daiki Matsuoka has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yutaka Yoshida made 279 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 40' The 38-year-old Hideto Takahashi has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 45' It looks surprising Sagan Tosu FC does not make any changes. Naoki Maeda has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 50' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 55' Sagan Tosu FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
  • 60' Sagan Tosu FC have won 293 goals from 279 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 62' Nagoya Grampus manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Shuhei Akasaki is hanging Aria Hasegawa on the field on 62 minute.
  • 65' Time for substitution for Nagoya Grampus. Eduardo Neto is replaced by Joao Schmidt.
  • 68' It is a substitution in Nagoya Grampus team. Naoki Maeda is replaced by Gabriel Xavier on 68 minute.
  • 70' A change in the Sagan Tosu FC ranks — Yuji Ono exits the field as Ahn Yongwoo enters on 70.
  • 75' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 78' That is a Yellow card for Nagoya Grampus. Joao Schmidt will be fuming at that decision.
  • 83' Nagoya Grampus currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 88' Both keepers have barely been tested. Nagoya Grampus and Sagan Tosu FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 89' The Sagan Tosu FC bench stirs into life. Daiki Matsuoka is withdrawn and Takeshi Kanamori gets his opportunity.
  • 90' Sagan Tosu FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Nagoya Grampus 0-0 Sagan Tosu FC.
