REPORT
The miracle did not happen! Actually S-Pulse bravely fought until the very end and the result could have been completely different but for a bit more luck and one single error that cost them the match.
Carlinhos had a clear chance at goal in the first half but the opposite keeper was too good. The defense held well enough until the 49th minute when they conceded a soft goal with a completely disjointed defense.
Kololli created two more chances with his splendid execution of first a free kick and then a corner kick but to no avail. Actually, Frontale was on the receiving end before the final whistle.
There is still hope after such a good fight away against the unbeaten team of the League. If S-Pulse can play consistently in the same vein, they will somehow survive even with a difficult schedule starting with an away game at FC Tokyo! Keep your hopes alive!
