Match Events
- 0' Welcome to National Stadium that hosts another battle between Tokyo Verdy and Shimizu S-Pulse.

- 10' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 15' It’s high time made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 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 Yuya Oki suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 35' 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.
- 40' Koya Kitagawa puts Shimizu S-Pulse on the lead.
- 45' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
