  • 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 10' FC Mito Holly Hock is showing some good football. However, FC Mito Holly Hock are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 19' A meaty challenge results in booking for Tae-hyeon Kim on 19.
  • 24' Takeshi Ushizawa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 29' It looks surprising Kashima Antlers does not make any changes. Mizuki Arai has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' FC Mito Holly Hock player sees a card in front of him.
  • 35' It’s high time Toru Oniki made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 40' Kashima Antlers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 45' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Mito Holly Hock that had 18 games and scored 10 goals.
  • 50' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 63' FC Mito Holly Hock started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 63.
  • 68' 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 Yuta Higuchi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 71' GOAL! Leo Ceara scores on 71. Assisted by Koki Anzai
  • 76' Haruki Hayashi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
