  • 12' Yuma Suzuki makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Kashima Antlers are in front.
  • 17' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 22' Kashima Antlers are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Nagoya Grampus backline.
  • 27' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Kashima Antlers and Nagoya Grampus are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 29' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Yuma Suzuki makes it 2-0.
  • 34' It looks surprising Nagoya Grampus does not make any changes. Mateus has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 39' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 44' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 49' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kenta Hasegawa might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 53' Nagoya Grampus ring the changes. Takuya Uchida has done his job and it is now time for Ryuji Izumi to step up.
  • 57' The supporters are chanting for Kaishu Sano. He replaces Hayato Nakama on 57 minute.
  • 62' Haruya Fujii is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kashima Antlers tonight.
  • 64' Kashima Antlers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kei Chinen is hanging Yuki Kakita on the field on 64 minute.

  • 83' 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 Diego Pituca suffering a number of foals already.
  • 84' What composure from Kei Chinen! The Japan international strokes it home. 3-0.
  • 86' Nagoya Grampus ring the changes. Sho Inagaki has done his job and it is now time for Ryoga Kida to step up.
