Events
Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! Kashima Antlers welcome Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo for this crunch clash at Kashima Soccer Stadium.
- 1' What composure from Yuta Higuchi! The Japan international strokes it home. 1-0.
- 6' Kashima Antlers are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo's 3-4-2-1 shape.
- 11' Over 11 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 15' Naomichi Ueda doubles the advantage! 2-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 20' Yuya Asano has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 25' Koki Otani has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 381 appearances.
- 30' A meaty challenge results in booking for Hayato Nakama on 30.
- 35' Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 40' 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 Hayato Nakama suffering a number of foals already.
- 45' Kashima Antlers currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 50' Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo have won 371 goals from 381 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 51' The referee calls foul for Ikuma Sekigawa. He receives a card.
- 54' Fresh legs for Kashima Antlers! Tomoya Fujii comes on to replace Hayato Nakama.
- 59' With 0 assists to his name this season, Diego Pituca is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Kashima Antlers.
- 63' Kashima Antlers ring the changes. Yuki Kakita has done his job and it is now time for Yuta Matsumura to step up.
- 67' GOAL! Yuma Suzuki scores on 67. Assisted by Yuta Higuchi
- 72' Tsuyoshi Ogashiwa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 74' The whistle greets Yuya Asano as he departs to be replaced by Yuki Kobayashi.
- 79' The travelling Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 80' Another change for Kashima Antlers made on 80 minute. Ikuma Sekigawa leaves to be changed by Gen Shoji.
- 82' Gun-Hee Kim is replacing Tsuyoshi Ogashiwa for the Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo side.
- 87' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo that had 381 games and scored 371 goals.
- 90' A moment of madness from Supachok Sarachart on 90 minutes earns him a card. Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo will be frustrated.
- 90' A change in the Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo ranks — Yoshiaki Komai exits the field as Akito Fukumori enters on 90.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
