Matsu’s analysis
All analysis →Kashima Antlers · V-Varen Nagasaki
Much more comfortable than the amount of rotation might have suggested.
Oniki made seven changes from the previous league XI after the Asian trip. Ceará scored an early penalty and Cavric doubled the lead almost immediately.

Kashima finally win again. Gamba still cant find a goal.
Ceará opened the scoring and Yuma Suzuki finally got his first league goal of the season. Kashima were more clinical, with Hirose supplying the opener and Misao helping create the second.

1947 · Sumitomo Metal
Kashima’s roots lie in a Sumitomo Metal team formed in Osaka and later relocated to Ibaraki. The club joined the inaugural J.League in 1993. Three consecutive league titles from 2007 to 2009 and the 2018 Asian Champions League crown are major chapters in its rise.
