Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Nagoya Grampus is hosting Tokyo Verdy for another epic battle.
- 5' It looks surprising Tokyo Verdy does not make any changes. Sho Inagaki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Tokyo Verdy 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.
- 20' The travelling Tokyo Verdy supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Tokyo Verdy that had 95 games and scored 82 goals.
- 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
- 35' Koki Morita has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 38' The referee calls foul for Yuto Tsunashima. He receives a card.
- 43' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 48' 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.
- 53' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rei Hirakawa made 437 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 57' Mateus is replacing Kensuke Nagai for the Nagoya Grampus side.
- 62' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 67' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 71' The supporters are chanting for Itsuki Someno. He replaces Yuta Arai on 71 minute.
- 76' Supporters expect more eagerness from Hiroto Taniguchi, as he is very good at scoring at Toyota Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 81' Kasper Junker is replacing Mateus for the Nagoya Grampus side.
- 86' Shuhei Kawasaki is replacing Yuya Fukuda for the Tokyo Verdy side.
- 89' Soichiro Mori has so much to prove this time. He replaces Katsuhiro Nakayama on 89 minute.
