- 5' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Kashima Antlers and Vissel Kobe are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 10' It looks like no one’s ball. Vissel Kobe is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 20' Kashima Antlers currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

- 45' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Tetsushi Yamakawa on 45 minutes.
- 50' 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 Jean Patric suffering a number of foals already.
