Nagoya Grampus came into todays game looking for a change of fortune as they team has gone win less since Robert Bouchard took over as manager for the struggling team.

Dyland Garland would open the scoring in the eleventh minute to put the home side ahead for the first time under Bouchard rein.

"It was a great moment to put the team a head like that but we knew we still had to play hard if we wanted our first win in just over a week" commented Garland about his strike.

Nagoya would take the lead into second half and with smothering defense they looked good to claim all three points but in the seventy fourth minute the team broke down defensively and with a stunning strike of the foot of Ben Celinger to tie the game at ones.

Moment later since the only change of the game as Nagoya brought on a striker Elijah Howden to replace a middle fielder Josh Showler as team would push for the win.

"I like to play aggressive ball" commented Bouchard when asked about the substitution. "We hadn't won or tied a game since I have joined the team so I decided we couldn't lose by forcing the other team to be on the back foot with more offensive approach." Added Bouchard.

The Sub would pay off in the Ninth minute as Howden would slide the ball in the back of the net and all but grant Nagoya it's first win under new management.

"It was a great moment to chip that goal home in the ninith minute like that. All player dream of being a super sub if they have to come off the bench like I did today so I couldn't have asked for any better result" commented a very happy Howden.

It was a very entertaining games and more Nagoya will be back in action tomorrow night as they host another Friendly against FC YELLOW PHARAOHS who bet Nagoya 8-0 just a few days ago.
