Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at Ajinomoto Stadium. Tokyo Verdy are looking to make home advantage count against Nagoya Grampus.
- 5' 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.
- 10' 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 Katsuhiro Nakayama suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Japan international Sho Inagaki has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 20' The travelling Nagoya Grampus supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 30' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Tokyo Verdy and Nagoya Grampus are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Tokyo Verdy is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 40' Yuya Yamagishi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 8 Yellow cards this season.
- 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
- 49' Controversy at the stadium! Kosuke Saito argues furiously but the card stands.
- 52' Assisted by Yudai Kimura with the perfectly-timed delivery and Hijiri Onaga makes no mistake. 1-0!
- 54' It is a substitution in Tokyo Verdy team. Yuan Matsuhashi is replaced by Fuki Yamada on 54 minute.
- 59' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 64' Yuki Nogami has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 66' Tokyo Verdy receives a card for a hard tackle on 66.
- 70' Time for substitution for Nagoya Grampus. Kensuke Nagai is replaced by Patric.
- 71' The Nagoya Grampus bench stirs into life. Kennedy Egbus Mikuni is withdrawn and Haruki Yoshida gets his opportunity.
- 74' Fresh legs for Tokyo Verdy! Tetsuyuki Inami comes on to replace Kosuke Saito.
- 79' The home supporters are growing impatient. Tokyo Verdy must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 81' A tactical swap from Nagoya Grampus — Kyota Sakakibara on, Keiya Shiihashi off on 81 minutes.
- 86' Ryosuke Yamanaka has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 87' That looks like a foul for a card for Hiroto Taniguchi.
- 90' Nagoya Grampus ring the changes. Ryosuke Yamanaka has done his job and it is now time for Ken Masui to step up.
- The points are shared — Tokyo Verdy 1-0 Nagoya Grampus. Honours even.
