Events

Match Events

0' We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
5' 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.
10' V-Varen Nagasaki started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
20' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. V-Varen Nagasaki needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
25' It’s high time Takuya Takagi made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
30' Kashima Antlers is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
35' 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.
40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yuzuru Shimada made 188 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
45' 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 Takashi Sawada suffering a number of foals already.
50' Yuhei Tokunaga has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
55' It looks like no one’s ball. Kashima Antlers is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
60' Musashi Suzuki needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.

70' 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.
75' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
80' It looks surprising V-Varen Nagasaki does not make any changes. Kento Misao has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

The final score is 1-2.
