Match Recap

Chihiro Kato's 48th-minute strike had Mito Hollyhock dreaming of a rare home win, the kind of result that could lift them off the bottom of the J1 League table. Instead, Shimizu S-pulse tore that script up. Tomoya Fujii leveled it in the 75th minute, and six minutes later Keisuke Tada turned the game on its head with the winner, sending Shimizu home 2-1 up having trailed for most of the afternoon. It fits Shimizu's shape this season: two wins in their last five games against Mito's one, and a point above them in the table. No one who scored at Mito's ground cracks the J1 League's top ten scorers, where Léo Ceará still leads the way with 36 goals, but Tada's late punch mattered more than any name on that list. Replay the 81st-minute winner that flipped this one in Shimizu's favor.
