Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Vissel Kobe host FC Tōkyō — let the battle begin!
  • 5' The energy levels are beginning to show. Kenta Hasegawa might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. Vissel Kobe and FC Tōkyō are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' Vissel Kobe currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 20' FC Tōkyō started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
  • 25' The travelling FC Tōkyō supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' Diego Oliveira, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 35' 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 Ryoichi Maeda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 45' The home supporters are growing impatient. Vissel Kobe must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 50' Vissel Kobe are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against FC Tōkyō's shape.
  • 55' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 60' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Takayuki Yoshida will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 65' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 70' 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.
  • 75' A quiet spell here at . Vissel Kobe seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 80' It looks surprising FC Tōkyō does not make any changes. Takuji Yonemoto has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 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 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.
  • 0-0 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
