Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Kashima Antlers gets underway.
- 5' The home supporters are growing impatient. Kashima Antlers must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 10' Kashima Antlers has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kashima Antlers and Avispa Fukuoka are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 25' Kashima Antlers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rikuto Hirose made 306 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 32' The referee has no hesitation. Daiki Miya is booked for Avispa Fukuoka — Yellow card on 32.
- 37' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 42' Arthur Caike has been relatively quiet despite scoring 34 goals in his last 333 appearances.
- 44' Douglas Grolli picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 46' The whistle greets Naoki Wako as he departs to be replaced by Takahiro Yanagi.
- 48' The referee has no hesitation. Hayato Nakama is booked for Kashima Antlers — Yellow card on 48.
- 53' John Mary, a Cameroon , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 56' Avispa Fukuoka ring the changes. Hisashi Jogo has done his job and it is now time for Hiroyuki Mae to step up.
- 60' Koki Anzai is ready to make an impact after coming on for Hayato Nakama at the 60 minute mark.
- 65' Naoki Hayashi is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Kashima Antlers so far.
- 70' Diego Pituca has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 71' A tactical swap from Kashima Antlers — Ryotaro Nakamura on, Yuta Higuchi off on 71 minutes.
- 72' A tactical swap from Avispa Fukuoka — Tatsuya Tanaka on, Jordy Croux off on 72 minutes.
- 77' 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 Masaaki Murakami suffering a number of foals already.
- 81' A change in the Kashima Antlers ranks — Rikuto Hirose exits the field as Naoki Hayashi enters on 81.
- 83' Diego Pituca catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 83.
- 85' Kashima Antlers receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 85.
- 90' Avispa Fukuoka have won 218 goals from 204 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Kashima Antlers players.
