- 0' Welcome to Ekimae Real Estate Stadium that hosts another battle between Sagan Tosu FC and Vissel Kobe.
- 5' 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.
- 10' 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.
- 15' Vissel Kobe is showing some good football. However, Vissel Kobe are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' 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.

- 32' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 37' 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 Akito Fukuta suffering a number of foals already.
