Events
Match Events

- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Kota Yamada, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Yahiro Kazama will be considering his options from the bench.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Yokohama F.Marinos and Nagoya Grampus are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 25' Takashi Kanai is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Yokohama F.Marinos so far.
- 30' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Yokohama F.Marinos that had 306 games and scored 561 goals.
- 40' Nagoya Grampus have won 402 goals from 443 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 45' The 38-year-old Mitch Langerak has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 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' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 60' With 0 assists to his name this season, Dusan Cvetinovic is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Nagoya Grampus.
- 65' Ryuji Izumi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 70' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 75' 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 Hiroki Iikura suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Yokohama F.Marinos and Nagoya Grampus are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 85' Nagoya Grampus come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 90' Kohei Hattanda has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 1-2 the final result. Yokohama F.Marinos will be bitterly disappointed.
