Events

Match Events

0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Kashima Antlers and FC Tōkyō get this one started.
5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Toru Oniki might look to freshen things up shortly.
20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Kashima Antlers and FC Tōkyō are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
25' Kimito Nono needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 10 Yellow cards this season.
30' The 30-year-old Yuma Suzuki has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
35' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
39' That is a card for FC Tokyo. Sei Muroya will be fuming at that decision.
40' The referee calls foul for Sei Muroya. He receives a card.
45' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
50' FC Tōkyō are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
55' It is a cagey affair so far. Kashima Antlers in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past FC Tōkyō's compact 4-4-2.
60' Sei Muroya has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 444 appearances.
65' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
70' Over 70 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
75' Alexander Scholz has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
79' Magnificent from Shu Morooka! That is 11 goals in 454 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
80' Magnificent from Shu Morooka! That is 11 goals in 454 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
85' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Kashima Antlers side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
89' Yuma Suzuki picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
That’s it! Another goalless match for Kashima Antlers and FC Tōkyō (для сухой ничьи).
