- 51' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Naoya Fukumori made 105 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 56' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 59' Kashiwa Reysol ring the changes. Ippei Shinozuka has done his job and it is now time for Fumiya Unoki to step up.

- 85' Akira Disaro gets the nod from Shimizu S-Pulse. He replaces Thiago Santana and will look to change the dynamic.
- 90' 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 Valdo suffering a number of foals already.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Shimizu S-Pulse players.
