Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Shimizu S-Pulse gets underway.
  • 5' Shimizu S-Pulse have won 295 goals from 380 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Makoto Okazaki is clearly more than just a goal scorer for FC Tōkyō.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' FC Tōkyō is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' It is a cagey affair so far. Shimizu S-Pulse in their trying to find a way past FC Tōkyō's compact .
  • 30' Ryoya Ogawa is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Shimizu S-Pulse tonight.
  • 35' FC Tōkyō has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 40' Japan international Yugo Tatsuta has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
  • 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
  • 50' Both keepers have barely been tested. Shimizu S-Pulse and FC Tōkyō are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 55' It looks surprising Shimizu S-Pulse does not make any changes. Hiroshi Futami has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 60' Shimizu S-Pulse are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 65' FC Tōkyō come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 70' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Shimizu S-Pulse needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 75' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Tōkyō that had 450 games and scored 428 goals.
  • 80' FC Tōkyō 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.
  • 85' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with FC Tōkyō winning 0% of all matches.
  • 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 Hideki Ishige suffering a number of foals already.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Shimizu S-Pulse.
