- 10' 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.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ekanit Panya, as he is very good at scoring at Kashima Soccer Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
