Events

Match Events

0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Ajinomoto Stadium!
5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tsuyoshi Watanabe, as he is very good at scoring at Ajinomoto Stadium with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
30' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Tōkyō and Kashima Antlers are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
35' FC Tōkyō have won 396 goals from 437 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
40' Kashima Antlers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
45' Ryotaro Araki has been relatively quiet despite scoring 22 goals in his last 447 appearances.
46' Magnificent from Ikuma Sekigawa! That is 5 goals in 447 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
48' Everaldo does the damage! The net is bulging and Kashima Antlers surge ahead!
53' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Kenta Hasegawa will be considering his options from the bench.
57' Juan Alano adds to his 0 season tally! Kashima Antlers lead 0-3 — and this changes everything.
60' The whistle greets Adailton as he departs to be replaced by Kensuke Nagai.
62' Poor challenge from Arthur. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
64' The crowd applauds Ryota Nagaki as he leaves the pitch. Leo Silva steps in for Kashima Antlers.
69' 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.
74' It looks surprising FC Tōkyō does not make any changes. Kei Koizumi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
76' FC Tokyo manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kazuya Konno is hanging Yojiro Takahagi on the field on 76 minute.
78' A meaty challenge results in booking for Katsuya Nagato on 78.
83' Kashima Antlers ring the changes. Juan Alano has done his job and it is now time for Tatsuki Nara to step up.
86' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kento Misao on 86.
90' The supporters are chanting for Yasushi Endo. He replaces Ryotaro Araki on 90 minute.
FC Tōkyō will have plenty to reflect on. Kashima Antlers were simply the better side today.
