  • 12' Elsinho has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 12.
  • 17' Kawasaki Frontale 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.
  • 22' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shimizu S-Pulse that had 367 games and scored 286 goals.
  • 23' A stunning finish from Yu Kobayashi — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 28' Mitsunari Musaka is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Shimizu S-Pulse so far.
  • 33' Shimizu S-Pulse are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.

  • 69' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
