5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
10' Kashima Antlers have won 468 goals from 447 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
15' Masato Morishige is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for FC Tōkyō so far.
20' It looks like no one’s ball. Kashima Antlers is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
22' Assisted by Ryotaro Araki with the perfectly-timed delivery and Koki Machida makes no mistake. 1-0!
27' Keigo Tsunemoto has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.

46' Joan Oumari makes way for Bruno Uvini at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Tokyo.

56' 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 Shuto Abe suffering a number of foals already.
61' It’s high time Naoki Soma made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
