Events

Match Events

0' Shimizu S-Pulse have kicked off against Kawasaki Frontale. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
5' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
14' Yasuto Wakizaka makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Kawasaki Frontale are in front.
19' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kawasaki Frontale that had 439 games and scored 556 goals.
24' The energy levels are beginning to show. Hiroaki Hiraoka might look to freshen things up shortly.
29' Shimizu S-Pulse are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
32' GOAL! Marcinho fires home to make it 0-2!
37' 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 Shogo Taniguchi suffering a number of foals already.
42' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
46' Katsuhiro Nakayama makes way for Yuta Kamiya at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Shimizu S-Pulse.
51' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
55' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Miki Yamane on 55 minutes.
58' The Shimizu S-Pulse manager makes a substitution. Kota Miyamoto departs to be replaced by Carlinhos.
61' Kawasaki Frontale manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Joao Schmidt is hanging Daiya Tono on the field on 61 minute.
66' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 66 minutes.
71' Shimizu S-Pulse ring the changes. Thiago Santana has done his job and it is now time for Se-Hun Oh to step up.
76' Yuta Taki has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuito Suzuki on 76 minute.
81' Over 81 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
86' 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.
89' Kawasaki Frontale ring the changes. Akihiro Ienaga has done his job and it is now time for Kazuki Kozuka to step up.
The points are shared — Shimizu S-Pulse 0-2 Kawasaki Frontale. Honours even.
