REPORT

The game in Ninjinia Stadium, S-pulse struggled against Hehime’s play style soon after the start of the game. On 10 minutes, Ehime’s MF8 Kojima opened the scoring a powerful header in Mihara’s cross from left side. Shimizu conceded a goal.

On 24 minutes, Shimizu tried to attempt counter attack. Shota Kaneko dribbled into the penalty area and he passed the ball into the path of Shirasaki. S-pulse’s No39MF has been scoring in 3 consecutive games passed the ball in front of the goal mouth. Finally this counter attack caused Ehime’s own goal. Shimizu evened the score then 1^st half ended.

The match changed on 66 minutes, Kitagawa came on as a substitute, and he dribbled past Ehime’s DF then make a cross. GK Kodama managed to touch the ball but Tese controlled a loose ball from GK and scored. Shimizu turned the game around.

We had a victory in our grasp before 90 minutes. However 2 minutes from the end, Shimizu gave Ehime a corner kick three times. The third times, finally S-pulse concede an equalizer. That was the moment S-pulse lost 2 points. Chong Tese was mortified “We have got one points but this mean is the same as we lost this game”

Eventhough Shimizu could not win this game but took 5^th place. This game was not best result but need to think about enough as unbeaten in nine. Shimizu return to IAI Stadium Nihondaira on Wednesday July 20^th for a midweek game under the floodlights, so why not get along?

Forza S-Pulse!
