Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Yokohama FC and Shimizu S-Pulse is underway.
- 5' Yokohama FC 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.
- 10' Shimizu S-Pulse is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' Shimizu S-Pulse started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' It’s a booking for Yokohama FC player. Lukian gets a card.
- 30' Yokohama FC is showing some good football. However, Yokohama FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 35' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 35 minutes.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yuya Oki made 447 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 45' It looks like no one’s ball. Yokohama FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 50' Kota Yamada puts Yokohama FC on the lead.
- 55' 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.
- 60' Capixaba is replacing Yutaka Yoshida for the Shimizu S-Pulse side.
- 62' The supporters are chanting for Naoya Komazawa. He replaces Musashi Suzuki on 62 minute.
- 67' 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 Musashi Suzuki suffering a number of foals already.
- 69' Another change for Shimizu S-Pulse made on 69 minute. Kengo Kitazume leaves to be changed by Motoki Nishihara.
- 74' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Yokohama FC that had 143 games and scored 139 goals.

- 79' The Shimizu S-Pulse manager makes a substitution. Zento Uno departs to be replaced by Hikaru Nakahara.

- 89' 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.
- 90' Yokohama FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Hinata Ogura is hanging Yuri on the field on 90 minute.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-0.
