REPORT
Disappointing loss again. A match which could have been won if mistakes had been avoided in the first half and if a little more luck had smiled on the team in the second half.

The two goals conceded in the 29th and 32th minutes were the result of a timorous defense that left all the time for opposite forwards to adjust against a defensive line holding too far back.　The second half saw S-Pulse courageously attacking again and again with younger players who came so close but to no avail. The late fine goal by Teerasil does not justice to the team.

From next week more fans will be allowed in the stadium and that could make a difference for a team who depends so much on atmosphere. Until then they will have to face Yokohama F Marinos on Wednesday in Yokohama.

At least it should be an entertaining game, both teams being offensive-minded!
