0' Welcome to Ajinomoto Stadium that hosts another battle between FC Tokyo and Kashima Antlers.
5' Jakub Slowik has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
9' Diego Oliveira does the damage! The net is bulging and FC Tokyo surge ahead!
14' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
19' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Tokyo and Kashima Antlers are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
23' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Yuma Suzuki makes it 1-1.
28' Kashima Antlers are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
33' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
38' FC Tokyo currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
43' Koki Anzai has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 460 appearances.
45' Yuki Kakita puts Kashima Antlers on the lead.
50' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yuta Higuchi, as he is very good at scoring at Ajinomoto Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
54' A stunning finish from Diego Pituca — that came from absolutely nowhere!
59' FC Tokyo 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.
62' A change in the FC Tokyo ranks — Yuto Nagatomo exits the field as Shuhei Tokumoto enters on 62.
65' The referee calls foul for Yuki Kakita. He receives a card.
70' FC Tokyo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Adailton is hanging Kota Tawaratsumida on the field on 70 minute.
75' Yuki Kakita makes way for Shu Morooka at the 75 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kashima Antlers.
80' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
86' Naoki Kumata is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ryoma Watanabe at the 86 minute mark.
89' Kuryu Matsuki has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 89.
90' Poor challenge from Koki Anzai. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
90' Yu Funabashi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Shu Morooka on 90 minute.
The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for FC Tokyo.
