Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Kashiwa Reysol get us underway at .
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Kashima Antlers is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Atsutaka Nakamura, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' The 38-year-old Daigo Nishi has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashima Antlers that had 447 games and scored 468 goals.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 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 Toshiya Takagi suffering a number of foals already.
  • 55' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 60' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Kashima Antlers and Kashiwa Reysol are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 65' Kashiwa Reysol come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 70' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kashima Antlers and Kashiwa Reysol are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 75' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 80' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 85' Ryohei Yamazaki has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 90' Kashiwa Reysol is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 6-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
