Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against FC Machida Zelvia and Kashima Antlers has kicked off!
  • 5' Kotaro Hayashi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Kashima Antlers so far.
  • 6' Assisted by Kotaro Hayashi with the perfectly-timed delivery and Yuki Soma makes no mistake. 1-0!
  • 11' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 16' Over 16 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 21' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 26' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 26 minutes.
  • 31' Kashima Antlers come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 34' The Japan Daihachi Okamura breaks the deadlock on 34 minutes. 2-0!
  • 39' Kashima Antlers are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 44' Japan international Kimito Nono has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 46' Ryoya Ogawa has so much to prove this time. He replaces Shuhei Mizoguchi on 46 minute.
  • 51' 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 Kosei Tani suffering a number of foals already.

  • 74' Another substitution for FC Machida Zelvia to replace Yuki Soma by Sang-ho Na on 74 minute.
  • 76' The crowd applauds Leo Ceara as he leaves the pitch. Yuta Matsumura steps in for Kashima Antlers.
