Events
Match Events
- 0' The ball is rolling at . Kashima Antlers are looking to make home advantage count against Vissel Kobe.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashima Antlers that had 447 games and scored 468 goals.
- 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. René Weiler might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 15' It looks surprising Vissel Kobe does not make any changes. Iniesta has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 16' Controversy at the stadium! Everaldo argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 21' Kashima Antlers is showing some good football. However, Kashima Antlers are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 26' Kento Misao has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

- 39' The Vissel Kobe bench stirs into life. Yoshinori Muto is withdrawn and Yuya Osako gets his opportunity.
- 44' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Min-Tae Kim.
- 46' The Vissel Kobe bench stirs into life. Nanasei Iino is withdrawn and Yutaro Oda gets his opportunity.
- 51' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Arthur Caike suffering a number of foals already.
- 52' The Japan Yuya Osako breaks the deadlock on 52 minutes. 0-1!
- 57' Vissel Kobe is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

- 85' Vissel Kobe 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.
- 87' A goal from the Japan international Ryuji Izumi! He fires home on 87 to make it 1-1!
- 90' A moment of madness from Tetsushi Yamakawa on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Vissel Kobe will be frustrated.
