Kashima Antlers were beaten 2-1 by Gamba Osaka at the weekend, ending their 12-match unbeaten streak in all competitions in the process.

 

Despite a late goal from centre-back Naomichi Ueda, it wasn't enough to get themselves back into the game, failing to hit the mark.

 

This halts the progress the team has made in the J1 League, as they head into this game sitting in seventh position with an aim to move up the table by the end of this 90 minutes.

 

Cho Kwi-jae's men came into this game with a 2-1 win last weekend which highlighted their toughness and ability to fight to the end.

 

Despite conceding in the 74th minute, Kyoto Sanga went on to win the game with two goals in the last 10 minutes of the match indicating that they would keep pressing until the final whistle.

 

Kashima Antlers may have put an end to their impressive run of form last weekend but this is a game that will allow them to get back on track soon as their quality will shine through with another win here.
