0' And we are off! Nagoya Grampus vs Shimizu S-Pulse — let the football do the talking.
5' Shimizu S-Pulse have won 286 goals from 367 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
10' Shimizu S-Pulse started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
15' Nagoya Grampus looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Yudai Kimura scoring 1 goals.
20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
25' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Nagoya Grampus side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
35' Nagoya Grampus has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
40' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
45' Shinnosuke Nakatani has been relatively quiet despite scoring 20 goals in his last 439 appearances.
50' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mitch Langerak made 439 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
55' Nagoya Grampus are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
57' Naoki Maeda puts Nagoya Grampus on the lead.
58' Ryoya Morishita makes way for Yuki Soma at the 58 minute mark. A tactical switch from Nagoya Grampus.
59' Time for substitution for Shimizu S-Pulse. Yuito Suzuki is replaced by Yuta Taki.
64' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 64 minutes.
66' Shimizu S-Pulse manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kenta Nishizawa is hanging Benjamin Kololli on the field on 66 minute.
71' 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 Shuichi Gonda suffering a number of foals already.
74' What an equalizer from Thiago Santana!
75' Yoichiro Kakitani makes way for Mu Kanazaki at the 75 minute mark. A tactical switch from Nagoya Grampus.
80' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
82' Nagoya Grampus make a change. Naoki Maeda trudges off to be replaced by Hiroyuki Abe on 82 minutes.
86' Shimizu S-Pulse manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yugo Tatsuta is hanging Valdo on the field on 86 minute.
88' Ryo Takeuchi gets the nod from Shimizu S-Pulse. He replaces Ronaldo and will look to change the dynamic.
89' Ryo Takeuchi is replacing Ronaldo for the Shimizu S-Pulse side.
The final score is 1-1.
