Events

Match Events

  • 20' Masatoshi Mihara has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Vissel Kobe is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' Vissel Kobe are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 35' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 40' Cerezo Osaka FC 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.

  • 50' Kim Jinhyeon, a Korea Republic , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

  • 86' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 88' The Cerezo Osaka FC bench stirs into life. Yoichiro Kakitani is withdrawn and Riku Matsuda gets his opportunity.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Cerezo Osaka FC take all three points.
