Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Vissel Kobe gets underway.
5' Avispa Fukuoka seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
10' The travelling Vissel Kobe supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
15' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
22' Kaoru Yamawaki is having his name booked by the referee on 22.
24' Avispa Fukuoka is taking the lead after the goal scored by Kaoru Yamawaki on 24.
29' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
34' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 34 minutes.
39' Teppei Oka is having his name booked by the referee on 39.
44' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Vissel Kobe winning 100% of all matches.
49' Shuichi Gonda has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
50' Goal! Thuler scores his 11 goal in 382 matches.
55' It looks like no one’s ball. Vissel Kobe is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
60' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Vissel Kobe needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
65' Vissel Kobe is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
70' It’s high time Shinya Tsukahara made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
75' It looks surprising Vissel Kobe does not make any changes. Keiya Shiihashi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
80' Vissel Kobe looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Thuler scoring 1 goals.
85' Supporters expect more eagerness from Yuji Kitajima, as he is very good at scoring at Best Denki Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
90' Abdul Hanan Sani Brown is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
That’s it! Another goalless match for Avispa Fukuoka and Vissel Kobe (для сухой ничьи).
