Preceding that game was the away victory against Oita Trinita with the score of 2-1.

Shimizu S-Pulse has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 22 goals from 14 games. It's not easy to score on Shimizu S-Pulse as they have only conceded 12 goals from these away games.
