Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Kashima Soccer Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Kashima Antlers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 12' It’s gonna be a card for Boniface Nduka.
  • 17' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 22' Yokohama FC is showing some good football. However, Yokohama FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 27' Yokohama FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 32' 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 Kyosuke Tagawa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' A meaty challenge results in booking for Kei Chinen on 37.
  • 42' It’s high time Toru Oniki made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 46' The whistle greets Ryuta Koike as he departs to be replaced by Kimito Nono.
  • 51' Lukian has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 56' It looks surprising Yokohama FC does not make any changes. Boniface Nduka has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Yokohama FC that had 143 games and scored 139 goals.
  • 62' Goal! Leo Ceara scores his 88 goal in 171 matches.
  • 63' Lukian has so much to prove this time. He replaces Adailton on 63 minute.
  • 65' What a strike from Kei Chinen! The score is 2-0.
  • 67' Goal! Boniface Nduka scores his 8 goal in 143 matches.
  • 69' The Yokohama FC manager makes a substitution. Makito Ito departs to be replaced by Akito Fukumori.
  • 74' 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.
  • 78' Keisuke Tsukui has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuta Matsumura on 78 minute.
  • 83' 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.
  • 87' Another change for Yokohama FC made on 87 minute. Solomon Sakuragawa leaves to be changed by Sho Ito.
  • Full Time. Kashima Antlers beats Yokohama FC
