0' Welcome to that hosts another battle between Vegalta Sendai and Vissel Kobe.
5' The travelling Vissel Kobe supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
10' Vegalta Sendai currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
12' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Simao Junior makes it 1-0.
17' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
22' 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 Kyogo Furuhashi suffering a number of foals already.
27' The home supporters are growing impatient. Vegalta Sendai must find a spark to ignite this game.
32' Kyogo Furuhashi does the damage! The net is bulging and Vissel Kobe surge ahead!
37' Japan international Leo Osaki has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
42' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Vegalta Sendai and Vissel Kobe are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
46' Against the run of play, David Villa has scored! This game has turned on its head.
51' Koji Hachisuka has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
56' Vissel Kobe have won 467 goals from 444 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
61' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
63' A change in the Vegalta Sendai ranks — Ryo Germain exits the field as Kaina Yoshio enters on 63.
64' The Japan Kazuki Oiwa breaks the deadlock on 64 minutes. 2-2!
69' Vissel Kobe fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
71' Hirotaka Mita has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 71.
72' Ryang Yong Gi is replacing Shingo Hyodo for the Vegalta Sendai side.
74' Vissel Kobe ring the changes. David Villa has done his job and it is now time for Keijiro Ogawa to step up.
79' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Vegalta Sendai that had 275 games and scored 158 goals.
80' A moment of madness from Daigo Nishi on 80 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Vissel Kobe will be frustrated.
85' Vissel Kobe is showing some good football. However, Vissel Kobe are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
90' Vissel Kobe manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Junya Tanaka is hanging Kyogo Furuhashi on the field on 90 minute.
The referee brings this contest to a close. Vissel Kobe take all three points.
