All supporters expected S-PULSE not to waste the dramatic comeback win last week. They have marred a victory over and over again so far. We believed that they’d overcome the weakness this time. But they were just underdog.

The first half wasn’t that bad. Both side created the scoring opportunity. Marquinhos was in form and showed many great attempts on goal.

The second half was disaster. FC Tokyo took control from the beginning and made a lot of golden chances while S-PULSE couldn’t make even a chance. In the 56th minute, S-PULSE gifted Toda a free volley from a corner kick to get a goal down. They couldn’t change the course until Kitajima was thrown on in the 82nd minute. But eight minutes was not enough for them to equalize.

After all they couldn’t seize an opportunity to go up again. It seems to took more time to climb out of the relegation zone.
