Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at !
- 5' Nagoya Grampus have won 403 goals from 444 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 10' 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 Min-Tae Kim suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Kashima Antlers are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 20' Ayase Ueda puts Kashima Antlers on the lead.
- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Mitch Langerak, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 33' A goal from the Japan international Hayato Nakama! He fires home on 33 to make it 0-2!
- 35' Hayato Nakama with the second goal in the match!
- 36' Rikuto Hirose catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 36.
- 38' Poor challenge from Ryoya Morishita. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 43' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Nagoya Grampus and Kashima Antlers are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Kento Misao.
- 50' GOAL! Mateus scores on 50.
- 52' GOAL! Mateus fires home to make it 2-3!
- 57' Rikuto Hirose has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 307 appearances.
- 60' Yuta Higuchi is replacing Hayato Nakama for the Kashima Antlers side.
- 65' Another substitution for Kashima Antlers to replace Diego Pituca by Ikuma Sekigawa on 65 minute.
- 70' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 75' Takuya Uchida is replacing Yoichiro Kakitani for the Nagoya Grampus side.
- 79' A change in the Kashima Antlers ranks — Ryuji Izumi exits the field as Shoma Doi enters on 79.
