Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Shimizu S-Pulse host Nagoya Grampus — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Nagoya Grampus have won 396 goals from 439 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' Nagoya Grampus looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Yudai Kimura scoring 1 goals.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Nagoya Grampus is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' Jo has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' 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 Leandro Freire suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' A quiet spell here at . Nagoya Grampus seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 45' Yuichi Maruyama has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 439 appearances.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' With 0 assists to his name this season, Hwang Seokho is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Nagoya Grampus.
  • 60' Supporters expect more eagerness from Keiji Tamada, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 65' Takashi Kanai is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Nagoya Grampus so far.
  • 70' Both keepers have barely been tested. Shimizu S-Pulse and Nagoya Grampus are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 75' 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.
  • 80' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 85' Nagoya Grampus is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 90' The travelling Nagoya Grampus supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Shimizu S-Pulse players.
