Cerezo Osaka was the first to seize the opportunity 3 minutes after the start. Hiroto Yamada escaped to Kiyotake’s pass and turned back, but it was cleared before he met Mutsuki Kato. If you miss this point, you will run a goal immediately. When he competed for the opponent’s goal kick, the challenge and cover did not go well, and Matsumura hit a free shot. Goalkeeper Kim He was pushed by Yuma Suzuki, though Jin-hyun repelled.
In the 11th minute, Cerezo Osaka had a chance. Hikaru Nakahara cut in from the right side and the shot was also stopped by Kwoun Sun-tae. Then Kashima again scored the next chance. Matsumura, who jumped in from the other side with a cross from Yuma Suzuki, matched it with a volley. Matsumura was the first starter in this season’s league match. He scored his first goal of the season to live up to expectations.
Cerezo Osaka suffered two goals at a time when the game was uncomfortable, but even after that, he turned the ball at a good tempo and made a chance. In the 18th minute, Riku Matsuda’s cross jumped into the top two, and in the 21st minute, Kato matched Yamanaka’s cross, but the shot was slightly out of the frame. After two goals, Kashima did not allow a decision and proceeded with the match, but one goal was far away and the first half was turned back.
In the second half, Cerezo Osaka replaced Kiyotake with Jean Patric on the pitch. Then, Jean Patric made the best use of his speed and broke through vertically. Make a chance.

Riki Harakawa’s kick was auctioned by Ryuya Nishio, and every bear who responded to the spilled ball shot with his left foot, but hit the post.
In the 61st minute, Yamanaka became free from the side change of Harakawa, and he passed the pass with his right foot from the cut-in, but he could not shoot. Even after that, Cerezo Osaka continued to attack, but he did not reach the goal, as Bruno, who participated in the middle of the game, made use of his horsepower to reach the goal.
Kashima, who led two points in the first half, controlled the game without forcibly attacking in the second half. It took a long time for the opponent to hold the ball, but when he proceeded with the match without conceding a goal, Artur, who participated in the additional time in the second half, was the third goal of his Kaiki. I decided the match.
Kashima won 3-0 by effectively scoring points in the enemy territory. He won the club’s 1,000th J1 match, and overtook Kawasaki F to move up to the top spot. On the other hand, in C-Osaka, “the overall content was not bad” (Director Akio Kogiku), but the way of conceding was bad and 3 goals were conceded. In the last few games, the stable defense has been disturbed, and once again, the result is that he misses his first home victory in this season’s league match.
