  • 43' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 78' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Toma Murata made 143 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 80' A change in the Yokohama FC ranks — Kota Yamada exits the field as Yuri enters on 80.
  • 84' A change in the Nagoya Grampus ranks — Yuya Asano exits the field as Taichi Kikuchi enters on 84.
