Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Shimizu S-Pulse and Kashima Antlers has kicked off!
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shimizu S-Pulse that had 364 games and scored 283 goals.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Shimizu S-Pulse is showing some good football. However, Shimizu S-Pulse are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' What a strike from Toshiki Takahashi! The score is 1-0.
- 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 30' Kai Matsuzaki has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 17 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 35' The travelling Kashima Antlers supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 40' It’s high time Toru Oniki made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 57' Shinya Yajima has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kota Miyamoto on 57 minute.
- 62' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
