Events

Match Events

0' The ball is rolling at Best Denki Stadium. Avispa Fukuoka are looking to make home advantage count against Shimizu S-Pulse.
5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
10' Daiki Matsuoka, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
15' Douglas Grolli has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 1 cards already picked up this season.
20' The 31-year-old Takuya Shigehiro has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
25' Shuichi Gonda has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
27' Magnificent from Thiago Santana! That is 69 goals in 317 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
32' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
35' The referee shows Shimizu S-Pulse player a Yellow card on 35.
40' Taro Sugimoto is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Avispa Fukuoka so far.
45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Takuya Shigehiro.
46' The whistle greets Bruno Mendes as he departs to be replaced by Daiki Watari.
49' GOAL! Carlinhos fires home to make it 0-2!
54' Over 54 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
59' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Tatsuki Nara suffering a number of foals already.
62' Avispa Fukuoka ring the changes. Takeshi Kanamori has done his job and it is now time for Jordy Croux to step up.
67' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Takeshi Kanamori made 452 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
72' Yuito Suzuki has so much to prove this time. He replaces Carlinhos on 72 minute.
76' The supporters are chanting for Masato Yuzawa. He replaces Emil Salomonsson on 76 minute.
81' Brilliant from the ! John Mary makes it 1-2 with a superb finish on 81.
86' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Avispa Fukuoka and Shimizu S-Pulse are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
87' Another substitution for Shimizu S-Pulse to replace Kenta Nishizawa by Ryo Okui on 87 minute.
89' Shimizu S-Pulse ring the changes. Ronaldo has done his job and it is now time for Ryo Takeuchi to step up.
1-2 the final result. Avispa Fukuoka will be bitterly disappointed.
