- 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 15' The 31-year-old Yuto Horigome has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 25' It is a cagey affair so far. Albirex Niigata in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Kashiwa Reysol's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 30' Albirex Niigata is showing some good football. However, Albirex Niigata are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 33' The referee calls foul for Mao Hosoya. He receives a Yellow card.
- 38' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Albirex Niigata side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 43' Kashiwa Reysol are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.

- 60' A quiet spell here at Denka Big Swan Stadium. Albirex Niigata seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 65' It looks surprising Albirex Niigata does not make any changes. Michael Fitzgerald has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 70' Albirex Niigata have won 119 goals from 110 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 74' Fresh legs for Kashiwa Reysol! Yuki Muto comes on to replace Mao Hosoya.
