- 10' Kashima Antlers are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against Kashiwa Reysol's 4-4-2 shape.
- 15' 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 Koki Anzai suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kashima Antlers and Kashiwa Reysol are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 30' Kashima Antlers currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 35' Brazil international Matheus Savio has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 4 assists in the Array this season.

- 46' The Kashima Antlers bench stirs into life. Rikuto Hirose is withdrawn and Yuta Matsumura gets his opportunity.
- 51' Kashima Antlers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
- 54' Taiyo Koga picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

- 62' Another substitution for Kashima Antlers to replace Yuki Kakita by Kei Chinen on 62 minute.

- 87' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Diego Pituca makes it 1-1.
- 89' A moment of madness from Diego on 89 minutes earns him a card. Kashiwa Reysol will be frustrated.
