Grampus Go Three Points Clear at Top

Maintaining their unbeaten start to the season, Nagoya come from behind to down a spirited, but winless JEF United, 3-2 to go three points clear at the top of J1.

This was one of the first games in which one of the weaker teams in the league tried to counter Nagoya's style of play. In the first half they succeeded and took a deserved 2-1 lead, but Grampus were able to adjust at half time and gradually exerted control over the game in the second.

Nagoya:
Seigo Narazaki
Shohei Abe, Milos Bajalica, Maya Yoshida, Akira Takeuchi
Magnum (Kei Yamaguchi 49), Naoshi Nakamura, Keiji Yoshimura (Keita Sugimoto 71), Yoshizumi Ogawa
Frode Johnsen, Keiji Tamada (Masaki Fukai)

JEF United Chiba:
Masahiro Okamoto
Masataka Sakemoto, Daisuke Saito, Eddy Bosnar, Ryota Aoki
Koji Nakajima, Tatsuya Yazawa (Takuya Kokeguchi), Atsushi Ito, Fulkovic (Yuta Baba)
Kota Aoki, Seiichiro Maki
