  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' 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 Koki Yonekura suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 25' Kashima Antlers come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.

  • 35' Kashima Antlers 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.

  • 65' It is a cagey affair so far. Gamba Osaka in their trying to find a way past Kashima Antlers's compact .
  • 70' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 75' Kashima Antlers is showing some good football. However, Kashima Antlers are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 80' Both keepers have barely been tested. Gamba Osaka and Kashima Antlers are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 85' Kashima Antlers are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
