Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Nagoya Grampus gets underway.
  • 5' Vissel Kobe are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Takayuki Yoshida will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 20' Vissel Kobe looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Yoshinori Muto scoring 1 goals.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' Hotaru Yamaguchi has been relatively quiet despite scoring 26 goals in his last 382 appearances.
  • 35' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Nagoya Grampus and Vissel Kobe are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 40' 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 Kensuke Nagai suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' Nagoya Grampus currently sit 3 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 50' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 55' The 32-year-old Kasper Junker has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 60' Vissel Kobe has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 65' 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.
  • 70' Both keepers have barely been tested. Nagoya Grampus and Vissel Kobe are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 75' Nagoya Grampus have won 412 goals from 452 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 80' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 85' Haruya Ide is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vissel Kobe tonight.
  • 90' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
