The J.League match page listed the venue as Japan National Stadium for the Sunday 17:00 JST kickoff. (s-pulse.co.jp) Shimizu’s official English result page, however, labeled the fixture under its own match information page and showed the same date, kickoff window and 1-1 scoreline while using different venue text in the page header. Because the official sources available on May 24 were not fully synchronized, the scoreline, scorers and timing of the goals are the clearest confirmed details across the published records. Those details match the league and club postings. ### What does this result add to the season series? The earlier league meeting between the clubs on Feb. 28 ended in a 2-2 draw at Panasonic Stadium Suita, according to the J.League match archive. (jleague.co) That means the two league meetings reflected in official pages this season both finished level. The Feb. 28 page lists goals from Ryotaro Meshino and Deniz Hummet for Gamba Osaka, with Koya Kitagawa and Capixaba scoring late for Shimizu. (s-pulse.co.jp) The May 24 return fixture then ended 1-1 through Yumiba and Minamino. ### Where can readers find the official record next? The J.League’s official match center and Shimizu S-Pulse’s club site both carried the match record on May 24, while the league’s English-language social account distributed the score update and highlights. (jleague.co) Those pages are the primary public record for lineups, scorers and match events from Sunday’s draw. (jleague.co)
