REPORT
At long last a game that (almost) showed the best of S-Pulse!
And it had nothing to bear with chance!

Tastuta was back for national duty and captain Takeuchi also back from a long injury.On the other hand Douglas was suspended for that game.

Mind you, S-Pulse should have made an easy route of it in front of a disappointingly small crowd.In the 10th minute Takeuchi celebrated his return with a fine long-range shot that the Reysol defenders did little to prevent.S-Pulse should have led by at least three goals at half time especially with Kaneko and Kitagawa missing great chances.

The second half started with Reysol gifting a soft goal to Shirasaki. But in the 64th minute S-Pulse paid back their opponents with their own soft goal with a blunder of the central defense.

But in the 81st minute Freire’s free kick found Duke’s head which almost headed in by Kitagawa but Kawai was there to shoot the rebound into promised land.

Then S-pulse proceeded to live dangerously with the bar saving them in the 84th minute and finally let their second soft goal in the very last second of additional time. A tired but happy team could at last think of going back home after 3 successive away games. Mind you they won two of them and that will make a huge difference at the end of the season!

Next will be a “Friday Game” against struggling Gamba Osaka which promised to be hard fought!But the S-Pulse supporters can hope for a positive result!
