Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Sagan Tosu FC and Shimizu S-Pulse has kicked off!
- 5' 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.
- 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' Valdo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 20' 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.
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryo Takeuchi made 362 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 30' Sagan Tosu FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' 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 Se-Hun Oh suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
- 45' Shimizu S-Pulse is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 50' It looks surprising Shimizu S-Pulse does not make any changes. Kota Miyamoto has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 55' Sagan Tosu FC is showing some good football. However, Sagan Tosu FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 60' 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.
- 64' Sagan Tosu FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yuji Ono is hanging Yuki Horigome on the field on 64 minute.
- 67' Time for substitution for Shimizu S-Pulse. Se-Hun Oh is replaced by Thiago Santana.
- 72' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sagan Tosu FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 75' Naoyuki Fujita is replacing Fuchi Honda for the Sagan Tosu FC side.
- 80' 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.
- 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shimizu S-Pulse that had 362 games and scored 280 goals.
- 86' Time for substitution for Sagan Tosu FC. Nanasei Iino is replaced by Shunta Araki.
- 87' The Shimizu S-Pulse manager makes a substitution. Katsuhiro Nakayama departs to be replaced by Eiichi Katayama.
