Yokohama FC overcome Shimizu 3-2 for third successive J.League win

Yokohama FC beat Shimizu S-Pulse 3-2 for their third straight win in the J.League in Shizuoka on Saturday.

The talking point of the contest came in the 83rd minute when Thailand international striker Teerasil Dangda fell in the box after Yokohama goalkeeper Yuta Minami made contact with him.

The referee, however, decided it was not a penalty.

S-Pulse were trailing 3-1 at that point and eventually got a second in added time but it was not enough to prevent a seventh defeat in 12 matches.
