Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Urawa Red Diamonds and Nagoya Grampus has kicked off!
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' Nagoya Grampus is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' Aria Hasegawa has been relatively quiet despite scoring 3 goals in his last 439 appearances.
  • 20' Nagoya Grampus fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kohei Hattanda, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Oswaldo de Oliveira might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' Urawa Red Diamonds have won 403 goals from 439 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 45' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Yahiro Kazama will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 50' Urawa Red Diamonds seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 55' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 55 minutes.
  • 60' has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 65' 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.

  • 75' Urawa Red Diamonds currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 80' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 85' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 90' Hisato Sato has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 3-1.
