Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Yanmar Stadium Nagai will turn into a battlefield for Cerezo Osaka FC and Kashima Antlers.
5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
10' Ryota Nagaki is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kashima Antlers tonight.
15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yasushi Endo made 447 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
20' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Cerezo Osaka FC and Kashima Antlers are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
25' It’s high time Lotina made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Cerezo Osaka FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
32' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Juan Alano makes it 0-1.
36' Goal! Bruno Mendes scores his 25 goal in 369 matches.
39' Kento Misao is having his name booked by the referee on 39.
44' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
46' Everaldo doubles the advantage! 1-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
51' The Cerezo Osaka FC manager makes a substitution. Naoyuki Fujita departs to be replaced by Yasuki Kimoto.
56' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashima Antlers that had 447 games and scored 468 goals.
61' Another change for Cerezo Osaka FC made on 61 minute. Eiichi Katayama leaves to be changed by Yusuke Maruhashi.
62' Yoichiro Kakitani is replacing Hiroaki Okuno for the Cerezo Osaka FC side.
67' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
72' 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 Ikuma Sekigawa suffering a number of foals already.
77' With 0 assists to his name this season, Tomoya Inukai is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Kashima Antlers.
79' Koki Machida has so much to prove this time. He replaces Juan Alano on 79 minute.
84' Koki Machida has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
86' Controversy at the stadium! Ayumu Seko argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
87' The whistle greets Tatsuhiro Sakamoto as he departs to be replaced by Koji Suzuki.
90' The Kashima Antlers manager makes a substitution. Everaldo departs to be replaced by Ayase Ueda.
It finishes all square. Cerezo Osaka FC and Kashima Antlers share the spoils 1-2.
