Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Kashima Soccer Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' 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 Mateus suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Nagoya Grampus started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' Kashima Antlers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' The travelling Nagoya Grampus supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 41' Aleksandar Cavric is having his name booked by the referee on 41.
  • 46' Kashima Antlers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yu Funabashi is hanging Gaku Shibasaki on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' It’s high time Toru Oniki made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 54' What a strike from Kei Chinen! The score is 1-0.
  • 59' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 61' The whistle greets Kensuke Nagai as he departs to be replaced by Teruki Hara.
  • 66' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 71' 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.
  • 76' Kashima Antlers is showing some good football. However, Kashima Antlers are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 81' Daniel Schmidt needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 82' Kashima Antlers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Talles is hanging Ryotaro Araki on the field on 82 minute.
  • 87' Nagoya Grampus 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.
  • 89' Yuya Asano is replacing Ryuji Izumi for the Nagoya Grampus side.
  • 90' Tae-hyeon Kim has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aleksandar Cavric on 90 minute.
