10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
15' Kyogo Furuhashi puts Vissel Kobe on the lead.
20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Makoto Teguramori might look to freshen things up shortly.

26' Vissel Kobe are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
29' Vissel Kobe ring the changes. Daiju Sasaki has done his job and it is now time for Shion Inoue to step up.
34' Shingo Tomita has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
39' Yuta Goke has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 7 appearances with only 2 goals this season.

79' The Vissel Kobe manager makes a substitution. Nagisa Sakurauchi departs to be replaced by Ryo Hatsuse.
