The 2nd game of Levain Cup semifinal. Nagoya Grampus win 3-1 only 3 days ago and are very near in the final after more than 10 years.

Tokyo scored a goal in the last minutes of the game but defense were very weak and played a bad game in overall. Nagoya dominated in goal attempts and shots, but also in ball possession.

According to coach Hasegawa the team is struggling with injuries and accumulation of fatigue.

Tokyo announced that 3 more players were added to the injury list.

Def Okazaki (17/0), def Bangunagande (15/0) and def Suzuki (9/0).

Second best scorer Leandro (27/9) is still suspended,while out for this game are also new sign def Nagatomo (4/0), def Ogawa (33/1), def Oumari (20/1) with national team and mid Uchida (15/1) injured.

Probably coach Hasegawa will put an offensive lineups as they don't have nothing to play for expect the win.

Nagoya Grampus in other hand is qualified even with a lost 1-0 in this game.

Coach Ficcadenti said that there is still 90 minutes left to play and nothing is decided.

This year everything is going in a perfect way for Nagoya Grampus. The defense is very solid and they even break the record of clean sheets in J1.

It's all thanks to Ficcadenti that this team changed completely the way of football this year.

Currently Nagoya is in race for top 3 places in J1 but also managed to pass the Group stage in ACL.

Out foe this game are defNakatani (42/3) and mid Inagaki (44/10) both with Japan national team.

I see Nagoya Grampus very strong this year and very difficult to beat. Tokyo have a long list of injuries and even the physical form is not at best.

Probably Nagoya will try to defend the draw and then counter attack.

GL!

日联赛杯半决赛第2场。名古屋鲸鱼仅在三天前以 3-1 获胜，在 10 多年后非常接近决赛。

东京在比赛的最后几分钟打进一球，但防守非常弱，整体表现不佳。名古屋在进球尝试和射门方面占主导地位，但在控球方面也占主导地位。

根据教练长谷川的说法，球队正在与伤病和疲劳累积作斗争。

东京宣布将另外3名球员加入伤病名单。 后卫冈崎（17/0），后卫班古纳甘德（15/0）和后卫铃木（9/0）。 射手莱安德罗（27/9）仍被停赛，而本场比赛还有新签下的球员，后卫长友（4/0），小川（33/1），国家队的中场的奥马里（20/1）内田 (15/1) 受伤。

可能教练长谷川会安排进攻阵容，因为他们没有什么可期待的胜利。

而名古屋鲸鱼则在本场比赛即使0-1输球也能晋级。

教练说还有90分钟的比赛，什么都没有决定。

今年名古屋的表现非常出色。防守非常扎实，他们甚至打破了联赛的零封记录。

这支球队今年彻底改变了足球的方式，这全都归功于教练Ficcadenti。

目前名古屋正在争夺联赛的前 3 名，但也通过了亚冠的小组赛阶段。

本场比赛缺席的日本国家队的后卫Nakatani (42/3) 和中场稻垣 (44/10)。

今年的名古屋鲸鱼非常强大，很难被击败。东京有很长的伤病名单，身体状况也不是最好的。

可能名古屋会尝试防守平局然后踢反击。
