  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Mito Holly Hock is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' It’s high time Toru Oniki made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' 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 Kento Misao suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Kashima Antlers winning 50% of all matches.
  • 25' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 29' The referee calls foul for Danilo Cardoso. He receives a card.
  • 34' Arata Watanabe puts FC Mito Holly Hock on the lead.
  • 39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kei Chinen made 439 appearances and scored 39 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 44' Supporters expect more eagerness from Takahiro Iida, as he is very good at scoring at K's denki Stadium Mito with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 46' Kashima Antlers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yuta Matsumura is hanging Ryotaro Araki on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' Kashima Antlers looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Leo Ceara scoring 3 goals.
  • 56' 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.
  • 60' FC Mito Holly Hock player sees a card in front of him.
  • 63' FC Mito Holly Hock manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hayata Yamamoto is hanging Mizuki Arai on the field on 63 minute.
