Events
Match Events
- 0' The wait is over. Kashima Antlers get us underway at Noevir Stadium.
- 5' 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.
- 8' Aleksandar Cavric doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 13' Vissel Kobe currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 18' Against the run of play, Yoshinori Muto has scored! This game has turned on its head.

- 38' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Thuler makes it 2-1.
- 43' Ryo Hatsuse is replacing Gotoku Sakai for the Vissel Kobe side.
- 46' It is a substitution in Kashima Antlers team. Hayato Nakama is replaced by Tomoya Fujii on 46 minute.
- 51' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Vissel Kobe winning 100% of all matches.
- 56' 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 Tomoya Fujii suffering a number of foals already.

- 65' Time for substitution for Kashima Antlers. Yuta Higuchi is replaced by Shu Morooka.
- 70' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 74' Yosuke Ideguchi gets the nod from Vissel Kobe. He replaces Takahiro Ogihara and will look to change the dynamic.
- 76' The whistle greets Aleksandar Cavric as he departs to be replaced by Yuki Kakita.
- 78' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Daiya Maekawa on 78 minutes.
- 83' Yuki Kakita has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 88' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 89' Shoma Doi gets the nod from Kashima Antlers. He replaces Shintaro Nago and will look to change the dynamic.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Vissel Kobe to claim maximum points.
