16' Leandro Pereira has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 16 minutes.
21' Shinnosuke Nakatani has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
26' Nagoya Grampus is showing some good football. However, Nagoya Grampus are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
