Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Kashima Antlers gets underway.
  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' A quiet spell here at Kashima Soccer Stadium. Kashima Antlers seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 20' FC Tokyo come into this ranked 2 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 25' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 30' FC Tokyo looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.

  • 45' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 50' 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 Sei Muroya suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Ikuma Sekigawa has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 60' Yuji Kajikawa has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 65' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

  • 75' The 24-year-old Hayato Inamura has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 79' A stunning finish from Shu Morooka — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 80' Goal! Shu Morooka scores his 8 goal in 447 matches.
  • 85' Kashima Antlers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 85.
