Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Paloma Mizuho Stadium. Nagoya Grampus are looking to make home advantage count against Yokohama FC.

- 10' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 15' The home supporters are growing impatient. Nagoya Grampus must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yoichiro Kakitani made 373 appearances and scored 20 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 23' It’s a booking for Yokohama FC player. Eijiro Takeda gets a Yellow card.
- 28' Yokohama FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 33' 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 Mitch Langerak suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' A quiet spell here at Paloma Mizuho Stadium. Yokohama FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nagoya Grampus that had 443 games and scored 402 goals.

- 69' Yokohama FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
