  • 10' Albirex Niigata is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 12' Kazuhiko Chiba makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Albirex Niigata are in front.

  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' It’s high time Ranko Popović made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 35' Albirex Niigata are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 40' 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 Naomichi Ueda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' Kashima Antlers seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 62' Kashima Antlers receives a card for a hard tackle on 62.
  • 67' Both keepers have barely been tested. Albirex Niigata and Kashima Antlers are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

  • 69' Another substitution for Kashima Antlers to replace Gaku Shibasaki by Radomir Milosavljevic on 69 minute.
  • 74' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Albirex Niigata needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 79' Shintaro Nago makes way for Hidehiro Sugai at the 79 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kashima Antlers.
  • 84' Albirex Niigata currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
