0' The ball is rolling at Ajinomoto Stadium. FC Tōkyō are looking to make home advantage count against Kashima Antlers.
5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Kashima Antlers needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Diego Oliveira made 437 appearances and scored 87 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
20' Japan international Takumi Nakamura has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
25' 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 Ryotaro Araki suffering a number of foals already.
30' Keigo Tsunemoto, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
35' Ryoma Watanabe gets the nod from FC Tokyo. He replaces Diego Oliveira and will look to change the dynamic.

45' Yojiro Takahagi is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kashima Antlers tonight.
46' The supporters are chanting for Leo Silva. He replaces Kento Misao on 46 minute.
46' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Arthur Caike makes no mistake. 0-1!
51' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Tōkyō is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
56' Kashima Antlers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
61' FC Tōkyō are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

66' Yojiro Takahagi makes way for Keigo Higashi at the 66 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Tokyo.
71' FC Tōkyō 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.
75' What composure from Ryoma Watanabe! The Japan international strokes it home. 0-3.
76' Ryotaro Araki is replacing Shoma Doi for the Kashima Antlers side.
81' Supporters expect more eagerness from Joan Oumari, as he is very good at scoring at Ajinomoto Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
83' It is a substitution in FC Tokyo team. Kensuke Nagai is replaced by Kazuya Konno on 83 minute.
88' It looks surprising Kashima Antlers does not make any changes. Shuto Abe has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
