Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Kashima Soccer Stadium!
  • 5' Daiya Maekawa has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 444 appearances.
  • 10' Koki Anzai is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Vissel Kobe so far.
  • 15' It looks like no one’s ball. Vissel Kobe is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 30' Over 30 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 35' 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.
  • 40' The travelling Vissel Kobe supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 45' Controversy at the stadium! Tetsushi Yamakawa argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 50' 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 Ryo Hatsuse suffering a number of foals already.
  • 53' A moment of madness from Yoshinori Muto on 53 minutes earns him a card. Vissel Kobe will be frustrated.
  • 58' Vissel Kobe have won 467 goals from 444 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 63' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Takayuki Yoshida will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 64' A tactical swap from Vissel Kobe — Rikuto Hirose on, Daiju Sasaki off on 64 minutes.
  • 69' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 74' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 75' Shu Morooka makes way for Aleksandar Cavric at the 75 minute mark. A tactical switch from Kashima Antlers.
  • 80' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 81' What a moment for Kimito Nono! That strike on 81 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 84' Vissel Kobe make a change. Yuki Honda trudges off to be replaced by Ryo Hatsuse on 84 minutes.
  • 85' It is a substitution in Kashima Antlers team. Shintaro Nago is replaced by Yuta Higuchi on 85 minute.
  • 89' Vissel Kobe ring the changes. Takahiro Ogihara has done his job and it is now time for Ryuho Kikuchi to step up.
  • 90' Radomir Milosavljevic is replacing Kei Chinen for the Kashima Antlers side.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Kashima Antlers to claim maximum points.
