  • 20' A quiet spell here at . Kashiwa Reysol seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 25' 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.
  • 30' Hajime Hosogai has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 411 appearances.
  • 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 Wellington suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. Vissel Kobe and Kashiwa Reysol are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.

  • 70' It looks surprising Vissel Kobe does not make any changes. Leo Osaki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 75' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Junya Ito made 411 appearances and scored 51 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 80' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 85' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
