Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Vissel Kobe and Kawasaki Frontale is underway.
  • 5' Japan international Daiju Sasaki has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 10' Over 10 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gotoku Sakai made 270 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 23' Goal! Yasuto Wakizaka scores his 43 goal in 443 matches.
  • 28' Daiya Maekawa is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Kawasaki Frontale tonight.
  • 30' Goal! Taisei Miyashiro scores his 49 goal in 443 matches.
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kawasaki Frontale that had 443 games and scored 564 goals.
  • 40' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Toru Oniki will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 45' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 46' The crowd applauds Kyohei Noborizato as he leaves the pitch. Asahi Sasaki steps in for Kawasaki Frontale.
  • 51' Vissel Kobe ring the changes. Yoshinori Muto has done his job and it is now time for Koya Yuruki to step up.
  • 56' Sung-ryong Jung has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 59' Yuya Osako does the damage! The net is bulging and Vissel Kobe surge ahead!
  • 62' GOAL! Yuya Osako fires home to make it 2-2!
  • 67' 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 Yusuke Segawa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' Takuma Ominami is replacing Tatsuki Seko for the Kawasaki Frontale side.
  • 75' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 76' Fresh legs for Kawasaki Frontale! Yusuke Segawa comes on to replace Shintaro Kurumaya.
  • 77' Nanasei Iino is ready to make an impact after coming on for Daiju Sasaki at the 77 minute mark.
  • 82' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 84' Daiya Tono is replacing Yasuto Wakizaka for the Kawasaki Frontale side.
  • 87' The Vissel Kobe bench stirs into life. Jean Patric is withdrawn and Leo Osaki gets his opportunity.
  • 88' Another substitution for Vissel Kobe to replace Koya Yuruki by Shuhei Kawasaki on 88 minute.
  • 90' Controversy at the stadium! Leo Osaki argues furiously but the card stands.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from to claim maximum points.
