  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yuito Suzuki made 367 appearances and scored 9 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Urawa Red Diamonds are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 15' Takuya Iwanami is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Shimizu S-Pulse so far.
  • 18' Shimizu S-Pulse ring the changes. Akira Ibayashi has done his job and it is now time for Valdo to step up.
  • 23' Eiichi Katayama needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 28' 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.
  • 33' It’s high time Ricardo Rodríguez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 38' It looks like no one’s ball. Shimizu S-Pulse is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 43' 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.
  • 46' Urawa Red Diamonds ring the changes. Tatsuya Tanaka has done his job and it is now time for Yoshio Koizumi to step up.

  • 76' With 0 assists to his name this season, Tatsuya Tanaka is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Shimizu S-Pulse.
  • 78' Daigo Nishi gets the nod from Urawa Red Diamonds. He replaces Ryosuke Yamanaka and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 83' Thiago Santana is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Shimizu S-Pulse tonight.
