Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at Toyota Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' Nagoya Grampus currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Takahiro Ogihara made 302 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
15' Vissel Kobe has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
20' Yuki Honda makes way for Mitsuki Hidaka at the 20 minute mark. A tactical switch from Vissel Kobe.
25' The home supporters are growing impatient. Nagoya Grampus must find a spark to ignite this game.
30' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Nagoya Grampus and Vissel Kobe are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
35' Japan international Shuhei Tokumoto has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
40' Teruki Hara has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 279 appearances.
45' Vissel Kobe is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nagoya Grampus that had 439 games and scored 396 goals.
55' Nagoya Grampus are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Vissel Kobe backline.
56' Against the run of play, Shuhei Tokumoto has scored! This game has turned on its head.
61' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Vissel Kobe needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
66' That is a card for Nagoya Grampus. Daiki Miya will be fuming at that decision.
70' Yuya Osako has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 70 minutes.
75' Yuya Osako puts Vissel Kobe on the lead.
80' Another substitution for Nagoya Grampus to replace Kensuke Nagai by Mateus on 80 minute.
85' Sho Inagaki does the damage! The net is bulging and Nagoya Grampus surge ahead!
87' Vissel Kobe make a change. Haruya Ide trudges off to be replaced by Nanasei Iino on 87 minutes.
90' Vissel Kobe make a change. Daiju Sasaki trudges off to be replaced by Niina Tominaga on 90 minutes.
Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-2.
