Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Machida GION Stadium will turn into a battlefield for FC Machida Zelvia and Shimizu S-Pulse.
- 5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 10' The travelling Shimizu S-Pulse supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 14' Goal! Ryuho Kikuchi scores his 15 goal in 421 matches.
- 19' 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 Hiroki Mochizuki suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' Shimizu S-Pulse started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 24.
- 29' Hiroki Mochizuki was booked on 29.
- 34' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mateus Brunetti made 152 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 39' It looks like no one’s ball. Shimizu S-Pulse is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 44' Shimizu S-Pulse seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 46' The whistle greets Ryuho Kikuchi as he departs to be replaced by Ibrahim Dresevic.
- 51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 56' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 60' The supporters are chanting for Yudai Shimamoto. He replaces Shinya Yajima on 60 minute.
- 65' It looks surprising Shimizu S-Pulse does not make any changes. Capixaba has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 70' Se-hun Oh is replacing Shota Fujio for the FC Machida Zelvia side.
- 75' Goal! Yuki Soma scores his 24 goal in 417 matches.
- 79' Another substitution for Shimizu S-Pulse to replace Kai Matsuzaki by Hikaru Nakahara on 79 minute.
- 84' FC Machida Zelvia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 85' Sang-ho Na is replacing Yuki Soma for the FC Machida Zelvia side.
- 86' Takaya Numata has so much to prove this time. He replaces Takuma Nishimura on 86 minute.
