Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Shimizu S-Pulse and Vissel Kobe.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Vissel Kobe is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Yugo Tatsuta is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Shimizu S-Pulse so far.
  • 15' Vissel Kobe started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
  • 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Jan Jonsson might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 25' Vissel Kobe is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 30' 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 Yosuke Kawai suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Vissel Kobe come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 40' Daiki Miya has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 45' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 50' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 55' The 42-year-old Iniesta has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 60' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 60 minutes.
  • 65' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Takahiro Iida made 372 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 70' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Shimizu S-Pulse and Vissel Kobe are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 75' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 80' Both keepers have barely been tested. Shimizu S-Pulse and Vissel Kobe are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 85' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 90' Ryohei Shirasaki needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
