Events

Match Events

0' It’s Showtime! The match between Nagoya Grampus and Vissel Kobe is underway.
5' Shinnosuke Nakatani is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vissel Kobe tonight.
10' The travelling Vissel Kobe supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
15' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Nagoya Grampus side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
20' Nanasei Iino needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Takayuki Yoshida will be considering his options from the bench.
30' Vissel Kobe come into this ranked 1 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
35' Hotaru Yamaguchi has been relatively quiet despite scoring 26 goals in his last 369 appearances.
40' Vissel Kobe is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
45' 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.
50' It’s high time Kenta Hasegawa made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
55' Vissel Kobe fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
60' It looks surprising Nagoya Grampus does not make any changes. Sho Inagaki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
65' Australia international Mitch Langerak has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
70' 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 Yuki Honda suffering a number of foals already.
75' Nagoya Grampus currently sit 3 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
80' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
85' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-1-2-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
90' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
