Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Shimizu S-Pulse host Sanfrecce Hiroshima — let the battle begin!
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 15' Junior Santos is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Shimizu S-Pulse so far.
  • 20' The Brazil Thiago Santana breaks the deadlock on 20 minutes. 1-0!
  • 25' Sho Sasaki has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 33' A moment of madness from Ronaldo on 33 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Shimizu S-Pulse will be frustrated.
  • 38' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 43' Shimizu S-Pulse are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 46' The crowd applauds Taishi Matsumoto as he leaves the pitch. Tsukasa Shiotani steps in for Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
  • 51' The home supporters are growing impatient. Shimizu S-Pulse must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sanfrecce Hiroshima needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

  • 73' Akira Disaro has so much to prove this time. He replaces Katsuhiro Nakayama on 73 minute.
  • 78' 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 Yoshifumi Kashiwa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' Magnificent from Yoshifumi Kashiwa! That is 22 goals in 339 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 81' Eiichi Katayama has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ryohei Shirasaki on 81 minute.
