Match Events

0' The wait is over. Nagoya Grampus get us underway at .
5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
10' Japan international Takuya Aoki has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
15' 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 Yuichi Maruyama suffering a number of foals already.
20' 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.
25' Tadanari Lee needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
30' Urawa Red Diamonds is showing some good football. However, Urawa Red Diamonds are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
35' It’s high time Oswaldo de Oliveira made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
40' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
45' Nagoya Grampus are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Urawa Red Diamonds backline.
50' Yuki Abe has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 444 appearances.
55' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nagoya Grampus needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
60' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Oswaldo de Oliveira will be considering his options from the bench.
65' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
70' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Nagoya Grampus side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
75' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nagoya Grampus that had 444 games and scored 403 goals.
80' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
85' Naoki Maeda has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
90' It is a cagey affair so far. Nagoya Grampus in their trying to find a way past Urawa Red Diamonds's compact .
Game over. The scoreline of 4-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
