Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Vissel Kobe welcome Kawasaki Frontale for this crunch clash at NOEVIR Stadium Kobe.
  • 5' Sung-ryong Jung has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 13 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Toru Oniki might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' Takuma Ominami has been relatively quiet despite scoring 10 goals in his last 278 appearances.
  • 23' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Yasuto Wakizaka makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 28' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 30' A stunning finish from Taisei Miyashiro — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 35' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 40' 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.
  • 45' Vissel Kobe are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 46' Another change for Kawasaki Frontale made on 46 minute. Kyohei Noborizato leaves to be changed by Asahi Sasaki.
  • 51' Koya Yuruki has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yoshinori Muto on 51 minute.
  • 56' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Vissel Kobe and Kawasaki Frontale are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 59' Magnificent from Yuya Osako! That is 77 goals in 425 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 62' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Yuya Osako makes it 2-2.
  • 67' Kawasaki Frontale started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 67.
  • 70' Another change for Kawasaki Frontale made on 70 minute. Tatsuki Seko leaves to be changed by Takuma Ominami.
  • 75' 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.
  • 76' Kawasaki Frontale make a change. Shintaro Kurumaya trudges off to be replaced by Yusuke Segawa on 76 minutes.
  • 77' The Vissel Kobe bench stirs into life. Daiju Sasaki is withdrawn and Nanasei Iino gets his opportunity.
  • 82' Vissel Kobe have won 488 goals from 457 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 84' Daiya Tono is replacing Yasuto Wakizaka for the Kawasaki Frontale side.
  • 87' Vissel Kobe ring the changes. Jean Patric has done his job and it is now time for Leo Osaki to step up.
  • 88' The whistle greets Koya Yuruki as he departs to be replaced by Shuhei Kawasaki.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a card for Leo Osaki.
  • The points are shared — Vissel Kobe 2-2 Kawasaki Frontale. Honours even.
