Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Cerezo Osaka FC welcome Shimizu S-Pulse for this crunch clash at Yanmar Stadium Nagai.
  • 5' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 10' It looks surprising Cerezo Osaka FC does not make any changes. Ko Matsubara has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' Cerezo Osaka FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Thiago Andrade scoring 1 goals.
  • 18' Elsinho has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 18 minutes.
  • 23' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 28' 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 Matej Jonjic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 33' 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.
  • 38' Kim Jinhyeon has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 43' Shimizu S-Pulse are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 48' Japan international Yosuke Kawai has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 53' Jumpei Kusukami has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 372 appearances.
  • 56' Koji Suzuki is ready to make an impact after coming on for Hiroaki Okuno at the 56 minute mark.
  • 60' It is a substitution in Shimizu S-Pulse team. Renato is replaced by Mitsunari Musaka on 60 minute.
  • 65' The travelling Shimizu S-Pulse supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 70' Shimizu S-Pulse fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 75' GOAL! Kota Mizunuma scores on 75.
  • 77' The Cerezo Osaka FC manager makes a substitution. Hiroshi Kiyotake departs to be replaced by Atomu Tanaka.
  • 79' Yoichiro Kakitani doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 81' Shimizu S-Pulse manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Dutra Junior is hanging Kenta Nishizawa on the field on 81 minute.
  • 84' Jumpei Kusukami is replacing Yosuke Kawai for the Shimizu S-Pulse side.
  • 89' The energy levels are beginning to show. Lotina might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 90' Eiichi Katayama has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yoichiro Kakitani on 90 minute.
  • The final score is 2-1.
