Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Vissel Kobe kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vissel Kobe that had 448 games and scored 472 goals.
  • 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Vegalta Sendai side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 12' The Mozambique Simao Junior breaks the deadlock on 12 minutes. 1-0!
  • 17' Supporters expect more eagerness from Shingo Hyodo, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 22' Vegalta Sendai have won 158 goals from 275 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 27' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 32' The deadlock is broken! Kyogo Furuhashi gets on the scoresheet on 32 minutes.
  • 37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 42' With 0 assists to his name this season, David Villa is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Vissel Kobe.
  • 46' David Villa puts Vissel Kobe on the lead.
  • 51' 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 Keijiro Ogawa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Vegalta Sendai needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 61' Vegalta Sendai 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.
  • 63' A tactical swap from Vegalta Sendai — Kaina Yoshio on, Ryo Germain off on 63 minutes.
  • 64' Kazuki Oiwa adds to his 0 season tally! Vegalta Sendai lead 2-2 — and this changes everything.
  • 69' Over 69 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 71' It’s a booking for Vissel Kobe player. Hirotaka Mita gets a Yellow card.
  • 72' Vegalta Sendai ring the changes. Shingo Hyodo has done his job and it is now time for Ryang Yong Gi to step up.
  • 74' Keijiro Ogawa gets the nod from Vissel Kobe. He replaces David Villa and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 79' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Susumu Watanabe will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 80' Vissel Kobe receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 80.
  • 85' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 90' Junya Tanaka is ready to make an impact after coming on for Kyogo Furuhashi at the 90 minute mark.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Vissel Kobe players.
