Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo to score. At the same time, Shimizu S-Pulse does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Shimizu S-Pulse backline.
- 10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Mihailo Petrović will be considering his options from the bench.
- 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 20' Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 24' That is a Yellow card for Shimizu S-Pulse. Elsinho will be fuming at that decision.
- 29' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 34' 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.
- 39' Shimizu S-Pulse is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 44' Ryo Okui has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 49' Supporters expect more eagerness from Akito Fukumori, as he is very good at scoring at Sapporo Dome with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 51' Anderson Lopes adds to his 0 season tally! Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
- 55' What a strike from Takuro Kaneko! The score is 2-0.
- 57' Shimizu S-Pulse manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kenta Nishizawa is hanging Ryo Okui on the field on 57 minute.
- 58' The Shimizu S-Pulse bench stirs into life. Ryo Okui is withdrawn and Kenta Nishizawa gets his opportunity.
- 63' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 64' Ryota Aoki gets the nod from Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo. He replaces Anderson Lopes and will look to change the dynamic.
- 69' 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 Yuito Suzuki suffering a number of foals already.
- 71' Time for substitution for Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo. Tomoki Takamine is replaced by Takuma Arano.
- 74' Fresh legs for Shimizu S-Pulse! Naoya Fukumori comes on to replace Elsinho.
- 79' The home supporters are growing impatient. Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 83' Yugo Tatsuta gets the nod from Shimizu S-Pulse. He replaces Kota Miyamoto and will look to change the dynamic.
- 88' Time for substitution for Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo. Takuro Kaneko is replaced by Daihachi Okamura.
- 89' A moment of madness from Valdo on 89 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Shimizu S-Pulse will be frustrated.
- 90' The referee calls foul for Min-Tae Kim. He receives a Red card.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
