Niigata, Japan – In a tightly contested match at the Denka Big Swan Stadium, Albirex Niigata and Nagoya Grampus failed to find the net, ending the game in a 0-0 draw. The match, part of the J1 League’s Round 31, saw Albirex Niigata enjoy a greater share of possession, controlling the ball for 54% of the time.
