- 0' We are underway at IAI Stadium Nihondaira. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' 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 Takashi Inui suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' 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.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Towa Yamane made 347 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 20' Shimizu S-Pulse is showing some good football. However, Shimizu S-Pulse are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' Yokohama FC player sees a card in front of him.
- 30' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 30 minutes.
- 35' Yokohama FC 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.
- 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Shimizu S-Pulse needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 43' The supporters are chanting for Shinya Yajima. He replaces Zento Uno on 43 minute.
- 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Yuri.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Keijiro Ogawa. He replaces Keisuke Muroi on 46 minute.
- 51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
