Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Kawasaki Frontale kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It looks surprising Kawasaki Frontale does not make any changes. Yuma Suzuki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashima Antlers that had 447 games and scored 468 goals.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Kawasaki Frontale side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 25' Leo Ceara has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 25 minutes.
  • 30' Kei Chinen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 39 goals in his last 439 appearances.
  • 35' 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 Sota Miura suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 42' Yuma Suzuki has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 42.
  • 46' The Kawasaki Frontale bench stirs into life. Tatsuya Ito is withdrawn and Marcinho gets his opportunity.
  • 49' Tatsuya Ito is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .

  • 58' Magnificent from Marcinho! That is 35 goals in 266 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 63' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kawasaki Frontale and Kashima Antlers are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 68' It looks like no one’s ball. Kawasaki Frontale is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 69' A change in the Kashima Antlers ranks — Yuta Matsumura exits the field as Kimito Nono enters on 69.
  • 74' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 76' Leo Ceara makes way for Kyosuke Tagawa at the 76 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kashima Antlers.
