Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Shimizu S-Pulse kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' 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.
- 15' 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 Kota Miyamoto suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nanasei Iino, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 25' The travelling Shimizu S-Pulse supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
