Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Urawa Red Diamonds vs Vissel Kobe — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Urawa Red Diamonds currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 20' Ken Iwao was booked on 20.
  • 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Urawa Red Diamonds and Vissel Kobe are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 35' Urawa Red Diamonds 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.
  • 40' It is a cagey affair so far. Urawa Red Diamonds in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Vissel Kobe's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 45' Vissel Kobe come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 50' The 35-year-old Yuki Honda has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 54' Kai Shibato is ready to make an impact after coming on for Atsuki Ito at the 54 minute mark.
  • 59' The travelling Vissel Kobe supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 64' 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.
  • 69' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ayumu Ohata is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Vissel Kobe.
  • 72' A goal from the Brazil international Thuler! He fires home on 72 to make it 0-1!
  • 77' Toshiki Takahashi is replacing Yoshio Koizumi for the Urawa Red Diamonds side.
  • 78' Another substitution for Vissel Kobe to replace Haruya Ide by Jean Patric on 78 minute.
  • 83' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 84' Bryan Linssen gets the nod from Urawa Red Diamonds. He replaces Ken Iwao and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 89' Nanasei Iino gets the nod from Vissel Kobe. He replaces Ryo Hatsuse and will look to change the dynamic.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Vissel Kobe to claim maximum points.
