Last verified: Wednesday, November 4, 2026, 8:04 p.m. in Buriram, Thailand (Indochina Time, ICT, UTC+07:00; 13:04 UTC). This is a time-stamped match-status report, not a continuously updating score feed.
Buriram United and Kashima Antlers have confirmed starting lineups for their AFC Champions League Elite 2026/27 East league-stage Matchday 4 meeting at Buriram Stadium on November 4. The official J.LEAGUE match center now identifies the fixture as LIVE and was displaying a provisional 0–0 in the first half when reviewed. That is an in-progress snapshot, not a final result, and the published feed may be delayed.
The scheduled kickoff was 7:15 p.m. Wednesday in Buriram (ICT, UTC+07:00), corresponding to 9:15 p.m. in Japan (JST, UTC+09:00) and 12:15 UTC. The live J.LEAGUE page records a kickoff time of 9:16 p.m. JST (12:16 UTC), one minute later than the advertised schedule. Thailand and Japan do not observe daylight saving time, so both conversions remain unchanged for this November 4 fixture.
The J.LEAGUE official match-details page showed the game underway with a 0–0 score in the first half during this verification. The separate official ACL Elite fixtures and results page also listed the encounter as LIVE, rather than Full Time. Because live tickers can update after an article is saved, the displayed 0–0 must be understood as a dated, provisional observation rather than a current guarantee or completed draw.
Before the match, the fixture had been listed as upcoming; that older status is no longer accurate on the page checked. Equally, a pregame placeholder showing 0–0 should never be published as a completed result. Readers looking for a later goal, halftime score, disciplinary event, substitution, or the final whistle should use the official match center directly. The official pages had not supplied a verified final score at the point this update was prepared.
The official team sheet includes Neil Etheridge, Sasalak Haiprakhon, Bissoli, Kenneth Dougall, Eduardo Mancha, Reza Asadi, Kingsley Schindler, Toni Moya, Goran Causic, Darlan and Alexandru Tudorie. The list below follows the names shown by J.LEAGUE rather than an estimated formation or a predicted XI.
One important detail is that the J.LEAGUE lineup view assigns positional labels to players in its listing; those labels should not automatically be read as a definitive tactical formation. The presence of Bissoli, Tudorie and Darlan gives Buriram attacking options, but any claim about their precise on-field roles or how they have performed during this match would require verified match footage or event data.
Kashima's official starters are Tomoki Hayakawa, Kaito Chida, Keisuke Tsukui, Yugo Okawa, Haruto Matsumoto, Kento Misao, Yuta Higuchi, Haruki Hayashi, Anthony Udemba Motosuna, Minato Yoshida and Homare Tokuda. Hayakawa is the listed goalkeeper, while Tokuda and Yoshida are identified as forwards on the official team sheet.
These are confirmed starters, not projected selections. The lineup is more useful than lists drawn from either team's previous match, especially with both clubs balancing domestic and continental fixtures. The official source establishes who started; it does not by itself confirm an injury explanation for every player omitted from the XI.
Kashima arrived in Buriram after three straight East league-stage wins and a perfect nine-point return. The J.LEAGUE Matchday 4 preview reported that the Japanese side beat FC Pohang Steelers 3–0 in its previous continental fixture, taking its opening-three-game scoring record to 11 goals for and one against. The AFC official preview likewise described Kashima as the East standings leader entering this round.
Buriram had a less convincing start: a 1–1 draw at Johor Darul Ta'zim, a 1–0 home defeat against Beijing FC, and a 1–1 draw away to Gamba Osaka. Those results gave the Thai club two points from three matches before kickoff. Eduardo Mancha, who scored against Gamba Osaka, was named among the confirmed starters for this match.
Those historical figures explain the pre-match contrast but should not be mistaken for the standings after Matchday 4. If Kashima wins, it would extend its winning sequence and move to 12 points. If Buriram wins, the host would record its first victory in this league-stage campaign and move to five points. A draw would give Kashima 10 and Buriram three. These are conditional scenarios, not a prediction or a statement that the match has ended.
Buriram's head coach Raúl Caneda appeared alongside midfielder Kenneth Dougall at the club's November 3 pre-match news conference. The official Buriram United announcement confirmed that arrangement and presented the home crowd as a potential advantage against a strong Japanese opponent. The coaching change remains a relevant storyline, but the confirmed lineup is now the most important new team-news item.
For Kashima, manager Tatsuya Oniki and Haruki Hayashi spoke before the game about preparation and the challenge of an away fixture. The official Kashima pre-match press conference report records those remarks. Hayashi subsequently appeared in the published starting XI, establishing that he was selected to start rather than merely being available to speak at the news conference.
There is not enough authoritative, match-specific evidence in the verified sources to publish a comprehensive injury or suspension list. The listed starters are established facts; unreported medical circumstances, reasons for omissions and in-game tactical changes remain unconfirmed in this update.
Buriram United's November 3 club announcement identifies BG SPORTS on YouTube for viewers in Thailand. Kashima's official pre-match information lists DAZN for its Japanese audience. These are territory-specific references, not guarantees that either service is available to every country or that any particular online link is free of regional restrictions.
For verified score changes and match events, follow the J.LEAGUE match center, the J.LEAGUE fixture list, or Kashima Antlers official match report. A completed match report or an official Full Time designation should be the basis for any subsequent final-score headline, goal-scorer summary or analysis of the result.
Teams play eight league-stage matches in the competition's East zone, with the top eight qualifying for the round of 16. The outcome of this meeting will therefore matter for Kashima's push near the top and Buriram's attempt to improve its position, but Matchday 4 alone does not justify declaring either team mathematically qualified or eliminated.
