Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Kawasaki Frontale to score. At the same time, Vissel Kobe does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Asahi Sasaki picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Vissel Kobe is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 31' The referee shows Vissel Kobe player a card on 31.
  • 36' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 41' 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 Jean Patric suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' Nanasei Iino was booked on 45.
  • 50' It’s high time Takayuki Yoshida made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 55' 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.
  • 57' GOAL! Akihiro Ienaga scores on 57.
  • 61' Another change for Vissel Kobe made on 61 minute. Takahiro Ogihara leaves to be changed by Yuya Kuwasaki.
  • 63' The referee shows Vissel Kobe player a card on 63.
  • 68' The Vissel Kobe manager makes a substitution. Yoshinori Muto departs to be replaced by Rikuto Hirose.
  • 71' Goal! Shin Yamada scores his 27 goal in 439 matches.
  • 76' The home supporters are growing impatient. Kawasaki Frontale must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 78' A tactical swap from Kawasaki Frontale — Hinata Yamauchi on, Marcinho off on 78 minutes.
  • 79' Another substitution for Vissel Kobe to replace Yosuke Ideguchi by Haruya Ide on 79 minute.
  • 84' It looks surprising Vissel Kobe does not make any changes. Yoshinori Muto has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 85' The deadlock is broken! Shin Yamada gets on the scoresheet on 85 minutes.
  • 86' Yu Kobayashi gets the nod from Kawasaki Frontale. He replaces Akihiro Ienaga and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' The Kawasaki Frontale bench stirs into life. Asahi Sasaki is withdrawn and Shintaro Kurumaya gets his opportunity.
  • Another three points for Kawasaki Frontale.
