Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Kashiwa Reysol launch into their encounter with Kashima Antlers.
- 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Keigo Tsunemoto is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Kashiwa Reysol.
- 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Daiki Iwamasa will be considering his options from the bench.
- 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Kashiwa Reysol side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 20' The travelling Kashima Antlers supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 25' Kei Chinen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 39 goals in his last 439 appearances.
- 30' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-4-2 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 32' Magnificent from Mao Hosoya! That is 46 goals in 411 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 35' Another change for Kashima Antlers made on 35 minute. Shoma Doi leaves to be changed by Ryotaro Araki.
- 36' Ryotaro Araki is ready to make an impact after coming on for Shoma Doi at the 36 minute mark.
- 41' Kashima Antlers has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
- 45' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Keiya Sento on 45 minutes.
- 46' Fresh legs for Kashima Antlers! Yuta Higuchi comes on to replace Diego Pituca.
- 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashiwa Reysol that had 411 games and scored 345 goals.
- 56' Yugo Tatsuta catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 56.
- 58' Yugo Tatsuta is having his name booked by the referee on 58.
- 60' A moment of madness from Gen Shoji on 60 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Kashima Antlers will be frustrated.
- 65' 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 Naomichi Ueda suffering a number of foals already.
- 68' The whistle greets Tomoya Fujii as he departs to be replaced by Shu Morooka.
- 69' Another change for Kashima Antlers made on 69 minute. Tomoya Fujii leaves to be changed by Shu Morooka.

- 75' The Kashima Antlers manager makes a substitution. Yuma Suzuki departs to be replaced by Yuki Kakita.
- 80' A change in the Kashiwa Reysol ranks — Keiya Sento exits the field as Tomoya Koyamatsu enters on 80.
- 81' The Kashiwa Reysol bench stirs into life. Keiya Sento is withdrawn and Tomoya Koyamatsu gets his opportunity.
- 82' Takumi Tsuchiya has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 82.
- 82' The crowd applauds Keiya Shiihashi as he leaves the pitch. Tomoki Takamine steps in for Kashiwa Reysol.
- 83' Another substitution for Kashiwa Reysol to replace Keiya Shiihashi by Tomoki Takamine on 83 minute.
- 83' Controversy at the stadium! Takumi Tsuchiya argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 88' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- Full Time. Kashiwa Reysol beats Kashima Antlers
