REPORT
The defense which had done so well all day to fend off a Marinos’ attack that had scored 5 times against Hiroshima in the last game certainly deserved better from its attack. No less the 4 times, 1 in the first half and three in the second great set pieces and moves had set someone a chance to score goals, but all were woefully wasted.
After drawing a game that should have been won, S-Pulse are still in a good position to qualify for he playoffs but it will be imperative to win both remaining home games!
Some players lost their chance to impress in spite of a defense looking like having assimilated the new strategy to allow plenty of freedom to their attack, but the same attack will certainly see big changes on Sunday against Shonan Belmare even in spite of injuries to Renato and Carlinhos. Some young players will certainly benefit and cheers the fans!
