Events
Match Events
- 0' Kashima Antlers have kicked off against Urawa Red Diamonds. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 5' Brazil international Everaldo has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 11' Ayase Ueda makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Kashima Antlers are in front.
- 16' Urawa Red Diamonds fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.

- 36' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Kazuki Nagasawa on 36 minutes.
- 41' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Leo.
- 46' 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 Quentin Martinus suffering a number of foals already.

- 72' Kashima Antlers make a change. Ayase Ueda trudges off to be replaced by Yasushi Endo on 72 minutes.
- 77' Tomoya Inukai needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 20 Yellow cards this season.
- 79' Kenyu Sugimoto gets the nod from Urawa Red Diamonds. He replaces Shinzo Koroki and will look to change the dynamic.
- 81' GOAL! Leo Silva scores on 81.
- 83' It is a substitution in Kashima Antlers team. Juan Alano is replaced by Ryota Nagaki on 83 minute.
- 84' A change in the Kashima Antlers ranks — Everaldo exits the field as Sho Ito enters on 84.
