今節の注目ポイントを解説！
This Week's Match Previews

The away match against Urawa in the previous round was a true "Kashima style" game. Although we were pushed back by Urawa's momentum at the start and fell behind by two goals, the players remained unfazed. Just before halftime, Leo Ceara scored a penalty to pull one back. Then, in the second half, Yuma Suzuki scored in the 55th minute, and Chavric scored just before the final whistle, securing a 3-2 come-from-behind victory. Both Yuma and Chavric's goals came from corner kicks, truly highlighting Antlers' strength.
