Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Ekimae Real Estate Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' It looks surprising Nagoya Grampus does not make any changes. Ken Masui has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 6' Sho Inagaki puts Nagoya Grampus on the lead.
- 11' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 11 minutes.
- 12' A meaty challenge results in booking for Wataru Harada on 12.
- 17' Cayman Togashi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 22' So Kawahara needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 5 Yellow cards this season.
- 27' 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 Il-kyu Park suffering a number of foals already.
- 32' Nagoya Grampus started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 32.
- 36' A meaty challenge results in booking for Wataru Harada on 36.
- 41' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sagan Tosu FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' Nagoya Grampus player sees a card in front of him.
- 46' Time for substitution for Nagoya Grampus. Ryuji Izumi is replaced by Katsuhiro Nakayama.

- 54' Sagan Tosu FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Katsunori Ueebisu is hanging Cayman Togashi on the field on 54 minute.

- 71' Another change for Nagoya Grampus made on 71 minute. Patric leaves to be changed by Kasper Junker.
- 76' Nagoya Grampus manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Masahito Ono is hanging Takuya Uchida on the field on 76 minute.
- 81' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Chang-rae Ha made 439 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 82' The supporters are chanting for Naoyuki Fujita. He replaces Tae-hyeon Kim on 82 minute.
- 87' 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.
