5' Katsuya Nagato is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Vissel Kobe so far.
10' 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.

19' Dankler puts Vissel Kobe on the lead.

43' The home supporters are growing impatient. Kashima Antlers must find a spark to ignite this game.
48' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
