Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Toyota Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' 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.

- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Tokushima Vortis is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Min-Tae Kim made 364 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
