Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: FC Tokyo gets underway.
  • 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 10' A quiet spell here at . Vissel Kobe seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Hirotaka Mita needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 25' Vissel Kobe is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 30' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 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 Shuhei Otsuki suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Kim Seunggyu has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 449 appearances.
  • 45' The home supporters are growing impatient. Vissel Kobe must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 50' FC Tokyo has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 1 meetings.
  • 55' 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.
  • 60' Kento Hashimoto has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 65' Both keepers have barely been tested. Vissel Kobe and FC Tokyo are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 70' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 75' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 80' Kensuke Nagai has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 85' Masato Morishige, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 90' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 90 minutes.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from to claim maximum points.
