10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FC Tōkyō and Kashima Antlers are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
15' FC Tōkyō have won 396 goals from 437 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
20' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Tōkyō needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
35' The FC Tokyo bench stirs into life. Diego Oliveira is withdrawn and Ryoma Watanabe gets his opportunity.
40' The 28-year-old Koki Machida has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

66' Keigo Higashi gets the nod from FC Tokyo. He replaces Yojiro Takahagi and will look to change the dynamic.
71' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryuji Izumi made 439 appearances and scored 28 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
75' A stunning finish from Ryoma Watanabe — that came from absolutely nowhere!
76' A change in the Kashima Antlers ranks — Shoma Doi exits the field as Ryotaro Araki enters on 76.
81' 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.
83' The whistle greets Kensuke Nagai as he departs to be replaced by Kazuya Konno.
88' Japan international Masato Morishige has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
