  • 57' Nagoya Grampus fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 62' It is a cagey affair so far. Yokohama FC in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Nagoya Grampus's compact 3-4-2-1.
  • 63' It is a substitution in Yokohama FC team. Shion Inoue is replaced by Caprini on 63 minute.
