  • 28' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 33' Everaldo catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 33.
  • 38' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 43' 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 Richardson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 46' The Kashiwa Reysol bench stirs into life. Mao Hosoya is withdrawn and Ippei Shinozuka gets his opportunity.

  • 78' 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.
  • 79' Itsuki Someno gets the nod from Kashima Antlers. He replaces Ayase Ueda and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 80' Leo Silva makes way for Ryota Nagaki at the 80 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kashima Antlers.
