J.League Yamazaki Nabisco Cup: Semi Final, 2nd Leg
Kashiwa Reysol (2) v. (3) Kashima Antlers – Hitachi Dai Stadium, 19.00
Kashima lead 3-2 from the 1st leg, but those two away goals for Kashima might well come into play here – a 1-0 win would be enough for a place in the final, but I expect a few more goals in this match.
Antlers will be without the suspended Ogasawara, while Reysol will be missing Kurisawa. Kick off is 19.00, after the S-Pulse v FC Tokyo 14.00 opener.
J.League Yamazaki Nabisco Cup Semi Final, 2nd Leg
Shimizu S-Pulse (1) v. (2) FC Tokyo – Nihondaira Stadium, 7pm
S-Pulse go into this game minus Lee Kije and Yosuke Kawai – the latter suspended after giving away the PK that was “earned” by a spectacular dive in the 1st leg – S-Pulse fans, players and team officials alike will be hoping for divine retribution, or maybe just a single goal, taking them through on away goals, perhaps!

They drew the quarter final 4-4 over two legs, with their two very late goals in Nagoya giving them the away goals win… same again here?
With FC Tokyo coming off a 5-1 thrashing from Kashima Antlers and S-Pulse having won the Shizuoka Derby, away, and moving up to 4th place, the momentum is with S-Pulse. Enjoy the game.
