Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at as Shimizu S-Pulse face off against Kashima Antlers in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ryo Takeuchi made 367 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 20' It looks surprising Kashima Antlers does not make any changes. Yasushi Endo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' Shoma Doi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 35' Shimizu S-Pulse are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Kashima Antlers's shape.
  • 40' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 45' Hwang Seokho is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Shimizu S-Pulse tonight.
  • 50' Both keepers have barely been tested. Shimizu S-Pulse and Kashima Antlers are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 55' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 60' The travelling Kashima Antlers supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 65' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 70' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 70 minutes.
  • 75' Supporters expect more eagerness from Naomichi Ueda, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 80' Over 80 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 85' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 90' Mu Kanazaki has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
