Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Kashima Soccer Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.

- 18' 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.
- 23' 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 Kimito Nono suffering a number of foals already.

- 29' That looks like a foul for a card for Ikuma Sekigawa.
