Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Shimizu S-Pulse gets underway.
- 5' The travelling Yokohama FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 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' It’s high time Tadahiro Akiba made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 20' Yokohama FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' Yokohama FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 25.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Togo Umeda, as he is very good at scoring at IAI Stadium Nihondaira with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 35' Sodai Hasukawa needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 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 whistle greets Zento Uno as he departs to be replaced by Shinya Yajima.
- 45' The referee calls foul for Yuri. He receives a card.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Keijiro Ogawa. He replaces Keisuke Muroi on 46 minute.
- 51' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 56' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 59' GOAL! Capixaba scores on 59.
- 60' The Shimizu S-Pulse manager makes a substitution. Mateus Brunetti departs to be replaced by Sen Takagi.
- 65' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Takanari Endo made 143 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 66' Solomon Sakuragawa has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lukian on 66 minute.
- 71' It looks like no one’s ball. Yokohama FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 72' What a strike from Hikaru Nakahara! The score is 2-0.
- 77' 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 Kai Matsuzaki suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' Another change for Yokohama FC made on 80 minute. Yoshiaki Komai leaves to be changed by Joao Paulo.
- 84' It is a substitution in Yokohama FC team. Kota Yamada is replaced by Hinata Ogura on 84 minute.
- 85' Yudai Shimamoto is replacing Matheus Bueno for the Shimizu S-Pulse side.
- 90' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- Full Time. Shimizu S-Pulse beats Yokohama FC
