Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at IAI Stadium Nihondaira as Shimizu S-Pulse face off against Yokohama FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 5' Valdo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 16 cards already picked up this season.
- 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Shimizu S-Pulse and Yokohama FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Shimizu S-Pulse that had 371 games and scored 287 goals.
- 20' 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 Yusuke Goto suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' A stunning finish from Koki Saito — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 33' Shimizu S-Pulse manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Makoto Okazaki is hanging Valdo on the field on 33 minute.
- 38' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 38 minutes.
- 43' Carlinhos needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.

- 46' Calvin Jong-a-Pin makes way for Eijiro Takeda at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Yokohama FC.
- 50' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Yusuke Matsuo makes it 1-3.
- 55' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 59' The Shimizu S-Pulse manager makes a substitution. Kenta Nishizawa departs to be replaced by Dutra Junior.
- 64' Keita Nakamura has been relatively quiet despite scoring 17 goals in his last 192 appearances.
- 69' Teerasil Dangda has so much to prove this time. He replaces Carlinhos on 69 minute.
- 74' Tatsuki Seko has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 79' Yokohama FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
