Events

Match Events

  • 2' Patric doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 7' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 12' nagoya grampus started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 12.
  • 17' nagoya grampus fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 18' What a moment for Sho Inagaki! That strike on 18 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 23' Goal! Sota Koshimichi scores his 1 goal in 348 matches.
  • 28' It’s high time Michael Skibbe made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 33' Shuto Nakano has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 38' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His sanfrecce hiroshima side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 43' Both keepers have barely been tested. sanfrecce hiroshima and nagoya grampus are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Tsukasa Morishima.
  • 46' Marcos Junior has so much to prove this time. He replaces Taishi Matsumoto on 46 minute.
  • 48' Goal! Shuto Nakano scores his 12 goal in 348 matches.

  • 60' Over 60 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 65' 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 Hayato Araki suffering a number of foals already.
  • 66' Takaaki Shichi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Sota Koshimichi at the 66 minute mark.
  • 71' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
