Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Todoroki Athletics Stadium. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' Kashima Antlers come into this ranked 3 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Kawasaki Frontale needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 25' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 30' Japan international Kyosuke Tagawa has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 35' Erison, a Brazil forward, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Kashima Antlers winning 0% of all matches.
  • 45' Kawasaki Frontale 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.
  • 46' A change in the Kashima Antlers ranks — Shuhei Mizoguchi exits the field as Koki Anzai enters on 46.
  • 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashima Antlers that had 458 games and scored 489 goals.
  • 53' Goal! Yuma Suzuki scores his 98 goal in 458 matches.
  • 58' It’s high time Toru Oniki made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 64' The deadlock is broken! Leo Ceara gets on the scoresheet on 64 minutes.
  • 65' Ten Miyagi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tatsuya Ito on 65 minute.
  • 68' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Yuta Matsumura.
  • 70' Kashima Antlers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Haruki Hayashi is hanging Yuta Matsumura on the field on 70 minute.
  • 72' The supporters are chanting for Lazar Romanic. He replaces Erison on 72 minute.
  • 77' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tomoki Hayakawa made 458 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 81' Kei Chinen is ready to make an impact after coming on for Yuta Higuchi at the 81 minute mark.
  • 82' Another substitution for Kawasaki Frontale to replace Yuki Yamamoto by So Kawahara on 82 minute.
  • 87' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Haruki Hayashi. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 90' The Kashima Antlers manager makes a substitution. Leo Ceara departs to be replaced by Shu Morooka.
  • 0-2 the final result. Kawasaki Frontale will be bitterly disappointed.
