Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Yokohama F.Marinos gets underway.
- 5' The 23-year-old Riku Yamane has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' Yokohama F.Marinos currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 15' Yutaka Yoshida has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 279 appearances.
- 20' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Yokohama F.Marinos side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 25' Zento Uno has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 29' Daiya Tono puts Yokohama F.Marinos on the lead.
- 34' The travelling Shimizu S-Pulse supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 39' It looks like no one’s ball. Yokohama F.Marinos is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 44' The home supporters are growing impatient. Yokohama F.Marinos must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 46' Kento Haneda makes way for Takashi Inui at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Shimizu S-Pulse.
- 51' GOAL! Asahi Uenaka scores on 51.
- 54' The deadlock is broken! Hikaru Nakahara gets on the scoresheet on 54 minutes.
- 59' Yokohama F.Marinos looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Taisei Inoue scoring 1 goals.
- 64' 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.
- 67' Kai Matsuzaki gets the nod from Shimizu S-Pulse. He replaces Kenta Inoue and will look to change the dynamic.
- 70' Kodjo Aziangbe does the damage! The net is bulging and Yokohama F.Marinos surge ahead!
- 75' Yokohama F.Marinos 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.
- 80' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 81' A change in the Yokohama F.Marinos ranks — Yan Santos exits the field as Elber enters on 81.
- 82' GOAL! Takashi Inui fires home to make it 3-2!
- 84' Jun Amano has so much to prove this time. He replaces Zento Uno on 84 minute.
- 86' A moment of madness from Jun Amano on 86 minutes earns him a card. Yokohama F.Marinos will be frustrated.
- 90' Thomas Deng picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Shimizu S-Pulse players.
