  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Leo Ceara made 179 appearances and scored 95 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' Ryosuke Shindo has been relatively quiet despite scoring 22 goals in his last 381 appearances.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' The travelling Cerezo Osaka FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 33' Vissel Kobe receives a card for a hard tackle on 33.
  • 38' Vissel Kobe are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 43' It’s a booking for Vissel Kobe player. Gotoku Sakai gets a card.
  • 48' Vissel Kobe started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 48.
  • 53' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

  • 60' The crowd applauds Sota Kitano as he leaves the pitch. Satoki Uejo steps in for Cerezo Osaka FC.

  • 70' The Vissel Kobe bench stirs into life. Haruya Ide is withdrawn and Jean Patric gets his opportunity.
  • 74' Haruki Arai gets the nod from Cerezo Osaka FC. He replaces Capixaba and will look to change the dynamic.
