Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Tokyo Verdy and Vissel Kobe is underway.
- 5' Matheus Vidotto has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 7 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Tokyo Verdy side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 13' Yuya Kuwasaki is having his name booked by the referee on 13.
- 18' Vissel Kobe are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 23' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Tokyo Verdy needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 28' Tokyo Verdy are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 33' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vissel Kobe that had 451 games and scored 478 goals.
- 38' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Vissel Kobe winning 100% of all matches.
- 43' Both keepers have barely been tested. Tokyo Verdy and Vissel Kobe are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 48' Tokyo Verdy are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Vissel Kobe backline.
- 50' Yuto Tsunashima is having his name booked by the referee on 50.
- 51' Koya Yuruki has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 51 minutes.
- 56' It looks like no one’s ball. Tokyo Verdy is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 61' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 65' A change in the Tokyo Verdy ranks — Yuya Fukuda exits the field as Hiroto Yamami enters on 65.
- 68' The supporters are chanting for Rikuto Hirose. He replaces Koya Yuruki on 68 minute.
- 73' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Takayuki Yoshida will be considering his options from the bench.
- 77' The whistle greets Yuya Osako as he departs to be replaced by Daiju Sasaki.
- 82' 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.
- 86' Yuto Tsunashima was booked on 86.
- 88' Erik makes way for Nanasei Iino at the 88 minute mark. A tactical switch from Vissel Kobe.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Tokyo Verdy.
