Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Nagoya Grampus kicks off things out of here…
- 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 Ryuga Tashiro suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' A meaty challenge results in booking for Yoshiaki Takagi on 10.
- 15' 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.

- 25' It’s high time Toru Irie made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
