  • 10' Kawasaki Frontale are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Shimizu S-Pulse backline.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Jesiel made 49 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 25' Shimizu S-Pulse is showing some good football. However, Shimizu S-Pulse are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 30' Kawasaki Frontale are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Shimizu S-Pulse's shape.
  • 35' Shuichi Gonda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.

  • 45' Poor challenge from Reo Hatate. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 47' Magnificent from Leandro Damiao! That is 74 goals in 337 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 52' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Kawasaki Frontale and Shimizu S-Pulse are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 55' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Kento Tachibanada.
  • 60' The 36-year-old Kazuya Yamamura has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 65' Shimizu S-Pulse are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 67' It is a substitution in Shimizu S-Pulse team. Noriaki Fujimoto is replaced by Kenta Nishizawa on 67 minute.
  • 71' Yu Kobayashi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Leandro Damiao on 71 minute.
  • 76' Shimizu S-Pulse have won 287 goals from 371 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 81' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 81 minutes.
  • 84' Shintaro Kurumaya has so much to prove this time. He replaces Kyohei Noborizato on 84 minute.
  • 88' Time for substitution for Shimizu S-Pulse. Eiichi Katayama is replaced by Akira Disaro.
  • 89' A change in the Kawasaki Frontale ranks — Yasuto Wakizaka exits the field as Kazuya Yamamura enters on 89.
