Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Vissel Kobe kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Vissel Kobe started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 6' GOAL! Yasuto Wakizaka scores on 6. Assisted by Marcinho
- 10' What an equalizer from Taisei Miyashiro!
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kawasaki Frontale that had 439 games and scored 556 goals.
- 20' 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 Erik suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Kawasaki Frontale is showing some good football. However, Kawasaki Frontale are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 30' Kawasaki Frontale 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.
- 33' Erik has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jean Patric on 33 minute.
- 38' 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.
- 43' It’s high time Takayuki Yoshida made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 48' That looks like a foul for a card for Gotoku Sakai.
- 52' Taisei Miyashiro with the second goal in the match!
- 57' 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.
- 62' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Vissel Kobe needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 66' Koya Yuruki has so much to prove this time. He replaces Rikuto Hirose on 66 minute.
- 67' The Kawasaki Frontale manager makes a substitution. Yuki Yamamoto departs to be replaced by Ryota Oshima.
- 72' It looks surprising Kawasaki Frontale does not make any changes. Gotoku Sakai has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 75' The referee shows Kawasaki Frontale player a card on 75.
- 79' Ten Miyagi is replacing Marcinho for the Kawasaki Frontale side.
- 84' Kawasaki Frontale is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 86' It is a substitution in Vissel Kobe team. Taisei Miyashiro is replaced by Klismahn on 86 minute.
- 89' It’s a booking for Vissel Kobe player. Klismahn gets a card.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Kawasaki Frontale.
