Events

Match Events

0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Shimizu S-Pulse is hosting Kashima Antlers for another epic battle.
5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kento Misao made 460 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashima Antlers that had 460 games and scored 493 goals.
15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
16' A moment of madness from Tomoya Inukai on 16 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Kashima Antlers will be frustrated.
21' Takashi Kanai is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Kashima Antlers so far.
26' Shimizu S-Pulse started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 26.
29' Brilliant from the ! Everaldo makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 29.
32' The deadlock is broken! Shoma Doi gets on the scoresheet on 32 minutes.
37' Kashima Antlers have won 493 goals from 460 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
42' Koki Machida has been relatively quiet despite scoring 13 goals in his last 460 appearances.
47' Yuya Oki is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Shimizu S-Pulse tonight.
52' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
57' It looks surprising Shimizu S-Pulse does not make any changes. Ryotaro Araki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
58' The Shimizu S-Pulse manager makes a substitution. Kenta Nishizawa departs to be replaced by Dutra Junior.
59' It is a substitution in Shimizu S-Pulse team. Shota Kaneko is replaced by Yusuke Goto on 59 minute.
63' Ryotaro Araki has so much to prove this time. He replaces Shoma Doi on 63 minute.
65' The referee shows Kashima Antlers player a Yellow card on 65.
68' Fresh legs for Shimizu S-Pulse! Mitsunari Musaka comes on to replace Takashi Kanai.
70' Another substitution for Kashima Antlers to replace Juan Alano by Yasushi Endo on 70 minute.
75' Carlinhos has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 9 cards already picked up this season.
76' The supporters are chanting for Hikaru Naruoka. He replaces Yosuke Kawai on 76 minute.
79' Teerasil Dangda adds to his 0 season tally! Shimizu S-Pulse lead 1-2 — and this changes everything.
82' Ryota Nagaki gets the nod from Kashima Antlers. He replaces Leo Silva and will look to change the dynamic.
87' Keita Nakamura needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 9 Yellow cards this season.
What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — Shimizu S-Pulse 1-2 Kashima Antlers.
