Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Toyota Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Nagoya Grampus and Sagan Tosu FC.
- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 8' GOAL! Vykintas Slivka scores on 8. Assisted by Akito Fukuta
- 10' Goal! Hikaru Nakahara scores his 7 goal in 369 matches.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sho Inagaki made 335 appearances and scored 45 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' Nagoya Grampus is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 26' It’s a booking for Sagan Tosu FC player. Yusuke Maruhashi gets a card.
- 31' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 31 minutes.
- 36' 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.
- 41' The travelling Sagan Tosu FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 46' Taichi Kikuchi is replacing Takuya Uchida for the Nagoya Grampus side.
- 51' 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 Akito Fukuta suffering a number of foals already.
- 56' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 61' Fumiya Kitajima has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yusuke Maruhashi on 61 minute.
- 62' Time for substitution for Nagoya Grampus. Shuhei Tokumoto is replaced by Ryosuke Yamanaka.
- 67' Goal! Hikaru Nakahara scores his 7 goal in 369 matches.
- 69' Nagoya Grampus manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kasper Junker is hanging Kensuke Nagai on the field on 69 minute.
- 70' The supporters are chanting for Keisuke Sakaiya. He replaces Tsubasa Terayama on 70 minute.
- 75' Nagoya Grampus started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 75.
- 80' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kensuke Nagai, as he is very good at scoring at Toyota Stadium with 8 goals in the last 8 games.
- 84' Naoyuki Fujita is replacing Akito Fukuta for the Sagan Tosu FC side.
- 85' Another substitution for Nagoya Grampus to replace Keiya Shiihashi by Haruki Yoshida on 85 minute.
- 90' It looks surprising Sagan Tosu FC does not make any changes. Ryuji Izumi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Nagoya Grampus and Sagan Tosu FC (для сухой ничьи).
