Events
Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Yokohama F·Marinos is hosting Kashima Antlers for another epic battle.
- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 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 Kimito Nono suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Both keepers have barely been tested. Yokohama F·Marinos and Kashima Antlers are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 20' It looks surprising Yokohama F·Marinos does not make any changes. Riku Yamane has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 25' Tomoki Hayakawa, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 30' Yokohama F·Marinos have won 556 goals from 302 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 35' It looks like no one’s ball. Kashima Antlers is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 40' The 25-year-old Yuta Matsumura has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 45' Yokohama F·Marinos are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Kashima Antlers backline.
- 50' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hideo Oshima might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 55' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Yokohama F·Marinos and Kashima Antlers are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 58' Kaina Tanimura has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 58 minutes.
- 63' Ren Kato has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 68' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 73' Yokohama F·Marinos are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 78' Yokohama F·Marinos are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 83' Kashima Antlers fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
