Kashima Antlers ACLE performance and league standing

Overview

Kashima Antlers have maintained a strong start to their 2026-27 AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) campaign despite recent struggles in domestic play. Prior to their continental success, the club faced a difficult period in the J1 League, dropping to 8th place following a 1-2 defeat against Vissel Kobe, which marked their third consecutive league loss.

However, the team rebounded in the ACLE opener with a dominant 7-1 victory against Australia's Newcastle Jets. Aleksandar Cavric scored a first-half hat-trick, with additional goals from Homare Tokuda, Kyosuke Tagawa, Ryoya Ogawa, and an own goal by James Delianov. While the team performed strongly, star forward Yuma Suzuki continued his scoring drought, expressing frustration but reiterating his commitment to tactical growth.

Kashima Antlers followed this with a 1-0 away victory against Công An Hà Nội (CAHN) at Hàng Đẫy Stadium. The match was decided in the 61st minute by an own goal from CAHN defender Adou Minh following a cross from Gaku Shibasaki. Despite CAHN creating more opportunities and maintaining high pressure, they were unable to overcome the Japanese side. This second consecutive win places Kashima at the top of Group A with six points.
