- 22' 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 Ryotaro Araki suffering a number of foals already.

- 70' It looks like no one’s ball. Kashima Antlers is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 71' Kashima Antlers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hayato Nakama is hanging Ryotaro Araki on the field on 71 minute.
- 76' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 81' The 31-year-old Koki Anzai has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
