- 14' Noriaki Fujimoto doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 19' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vissel Kobe that had 444 games and scored 467 goals.
- 24' The travelling Vissel Kobe supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 29' Against the run of play, Yuta Goke has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 34' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 39' A quiet spell here at Kashima Soccer Stadium. Vissel Kobe seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 40' What composure from Shoma Doi! The Japan international strokes it home. 1-2.
- 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
- 50' It looks like no one’s ball. Vissel Kobe is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.

- 79' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Shintaro Nago made 447 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 84' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Tomoya Inukai.
