Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Todoroki Athletics Stadium!
  • 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 10' Shintaro Kurumaya is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kawasaki Frontale tonight.
  • 15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Kawasaki Frontale side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 20' Kawasaki Frontale 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.
  • 25' Yasuto Wakizaka has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 7 cards already picked up this season.
  • 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Kawasaki Frontale and Shimizu S-Pulse are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' It looks surprising Shimizu S-Pulse does not make any changes. Valdo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 45' That is a Yellow card for Kawasaki Frontale. Reo Hatate will be fuming at that decision.
  • 47' GOAL! Leandro Damiao fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 52' A quiet spell here at Todoroki Athletics Stadium. Kawasaki Frontale seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 55' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Kento Tachibanada on 55 minutes.
  • 60' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 65' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Kawasaki Frontale winning 100% of all matches.
  • 67' The supporters are chanting for Kenta Nishizawa. He replaces Noriaki Fujimoto on 67 minute.
  • 71' Another substitution for Kawasaki Frontale to replace Leandro Damiao by Yu Kobayashi on 71 minute.
  • 76' Reo Hatate has been relatively quiet despite scoring 38 goals in his last 452 appearances.
  • 81' It looks like no one’s ball. Kawasaki Frontale is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 84' The Kawasaki Frontale manager makes a substitution. Kyohei Noborizato departs to be replaced by Shintaro Kurumaya.
  • 88' Shimizu S-Pulse make a change. Eiichi Katayama trudges off to be replaced by Akira Disaro on 88 minutes.
  • 89' The crowd applauds Yasuto Wakizaka as he leaves the pitch. Kazuya Yamamura steps in for Kawasaki Frontale.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 1-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
