Events
Match Events
- 0' Temperatures are rising at as Vissel Kobe face off against Cerezo Osaka FC in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
- 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 10' The home supporters are growing impatient. Vissel Kobe must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Akio Kogiku might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Cerezo Osaka FC that had 374 games and scored 399 goals.
- 25' Cerezo Osaka FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 27' The deadlock is broken! Kato Mutsuki gets on the scoresheet on 27 minutes.
- 32' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Cerezo Osaka FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 37' Vissel Kobe are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 39' Kakeru Funaki has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ryosuke Yamanaka on 39 minute.
- 44' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 46' Another substitution for Vissel Kobe to replace Iniesta by Yuya Nakasaka on 46 minute.
- 51' Ryuho Kikuchi, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 56' 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.

- 71' A tactical swap from Vissel Kobe — Tomoaki Makino on, Tetsushi Yamakawa off on 71 minutes.
- 76' 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 Yuki Kobayashi suffering a number of foals already.
- 81' Hikaru Nakahara makes way for Hiroshi Kiyotake at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from Cerezo Osaka FC.
- 86' Vissel Kobe looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ren Komatsu scoring 1 goals.
