Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Pocarisweat Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' 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 Sho Inagaki suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Tokushima Vortis is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 15' 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.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' Tokushima Vortis is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 30' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nagoya Grampus that had 439 games and scored 396 goals.
- 35' 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.
- 38' Nagoya Grampus player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 43' It’s high time Takeshi Komoto made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 48' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 51' Tokuma Suzuki is having his name booked by the referee on 51.
- 56' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 59' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dusan Cvetinovic on 59.
- 60' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dusan Cvetinovic on 60.
- 60' Nagoya Grampus manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kazuki Nagasawa is hanging Gabriel Xavier on the field on 60 minute.
- 65' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Nagoya Grampus needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 70' The travelling Nagoya Grampus supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 73' Another change for Nagoya Grampus made on 73 minute. Takuji Yonemoto leaves to be changed by Ryogo Yamasaki.
- 74' Time for substitution for Tokushima Vortis. Tokuma Suzuki is replaced by Cristian Battocchio.
- 79' Takeru Kishimoto has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 84' Another change for Tokushima Vortis made on 84 minute. Koki Sugimori leaves to be changed by Shiryu Fujiwara.
- 85' Another substitution for Tokushima Vortis to replace Koki Sugimori by Shiryu Fujiwara on 85 minute.
