Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Kashima Antlers and Cerezo Osaka FC get this one started.
- 5' Cerezo Osaka FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 25' 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 Kento Misao suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 35' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 40' Souza is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kashima Antlers tonight.
- 45' The 40-year-old Yusuke Tanaka has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 50' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 55' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cerezo Osaka FC that had 369 games and scored 396 goals.
- 60' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Kashima Antlers side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 65' It looks surprising Cerezo Osaka FC does not make any changes. Tatsuya Yamashita has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 70' The travelling Cerezo Osaka FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 75' The home supporters are growing impatient. Kashima Antlers must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 80' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kashima Antlers and Cerezo Osaka FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 85' Over 85 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 90' Kashima Antlers are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Kashima Antlers players.
