Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Noevir Stadium!
- 5' 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 Daiki Matsuoka suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' 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.
- 25' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 30' Masaya Tashiro is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vissel Kobe tonight.
- 35' Avispa Fukuoka started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 35.
- 38' A moment of madness from Mitsuki Hidaka on 38 minutes earns him a card. Vissel Kobe will be frustrated.
- 40' What a strike from Tetsushi Yamakawa! The score is 1-0.
- 45' 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.
- 50' Vissel Kobe are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 53' A meaty challenge results in booking for Takumi Kamijima on 53.
- 56' Yuya Osako is ready to make an impact after coming on for Rikuto Hashimoto at the 56 minute mark.
- 61' Thuler gets the nod from Vissel Kobe. He replaces Riku Matsuda and will look to change the dynamic.
- 62' Avispa Fukuoka make a change. Nassim Ben Khalifa trudges off to be replaced by Wellington on 62 minutes.
- 67' Vissel Kobe is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 71' Kazuya Konno makes way for Shintaro Nago at the 71 minute mark. A tactical switch from Avispa Fukuoka.
- 75' Takumi Kamijima was booked on 75.
- 78' Another change for Avispa Fukuoka made on 78 minute. Tomoya Miki leaves to be changed by Takaaki Shichi.
- 83' Tomoya Miki, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 88' Takeshi Kanamori has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- The points are shared — Vissel Kobe 0-1 Avispa Fukuoka. Honours even.
