Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. Vissel Kobe host Kashima Antlers — let the battle begin!
5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
10' 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.
15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Vissel Kobe and Kashima Antlers are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
16' GOAL! Daiju Sasaki fires home to make it 1-0!
21' 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 Gen Shoji suffering a number of foals already.
26' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Vissel Kobe side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
31' Yuta Higuchi has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
36' The energy levels are beginning to show. Daiki Iwamasa might look to freshen things up shortly.
41' Vissel Kobe are deployed in a 4-1-2-3 today, looking to exploit space against Kashima Antlers's 4-4-2 shape.
45' Haruya Ide makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and Vissel Kobe are in front.
46' A change in the Kashima Antlers ranks — Rikuto Hirose exits the field as Yuta Matsumura enters on 46.
51' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
56' Vissel Kobe currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
60' A tactical swap from Vissel Kobe — Jean Patric on, Haruya Ide off on 60 minutes.
65' It’s high time Takayuki Yoshida made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
68' Another substitution for Kashima Antlers to replace Ryotaro Araki by Yuki Kakita on 68 minute.
73' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
76' Time for substitution for Kashima Antlers. Yuta Higuchi is replaced by Gaku Shibasaki.
80' A tactical swap from Vissel Kobe — Nanasei Iino on, Yuki Honda off on 80 minutes.
83' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Daiju Sasaki makes it 3-0.
88' Rikuto Hirose is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vissel Kobe tonight.
90' Leo Osaki gets the nod from Vissel Kobe. He replaces Yoshinori Muto and will look to change the dynamic.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 3-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
