Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Vissel Kobe get us underway at Noevir Stadium.
  • 5' The travelling Kashima Antlers supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' Kei Chinen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' A quiet spell here at Noevir Stadium. Vissel Kobe seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 30' Kashima Antlers come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 35' Vissel Kobe ring the changes. Erik has done his job and it is now time for Daiju Sasaki to step up.
  • 40' Kashima Antlers started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 40.
  • 45' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 50' It looks like no one’s ball. Vissel Kobe is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 55' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 60' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kashima Antlers that had 447 games and scored 468 goals.
  • 61' Kashima Antlers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yuta Matsumura is hanging Elber on the field on 61 minute.
  • 65' Rikuto Hirose is replacing Nanasei Iino for the Vissel Kobe side.
  • 69' The supporters are chanting for Keisuke Tsukui. He replaces Leo Ceara on 69 minute.
  • 70' Kashima Antlers manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ryoya Ogawa is hanging Ryuta Koike on the field on 70 minute.
  • 70' Tae-hyeon Kim picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 75' 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 Elber suffering a number of foals already.
  • 80' Brazil international Erik has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 83' Kashima Antlers ring the changes. Yuma Suzuki has done his job and it is now time for Ryotaro Araki to step up.
  • 86' Takahiro Ogihara has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 86.
  • 87' The supporters are chanting for Yuki Honda. He replaces Katsuya Nagato on 87 minute.
  • 90' Poor challenge from Kei Chinen. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
