Events

Match Events

  • 0' Temperatures are rising at National Stadium as Vissel Kobe face off against Kawasaki Frontale in what promises to be a fascinating contest.
  • 5' 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 Takuma Ominami suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daiju Sasaki made 444 appearances and scored 21 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 14' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Kento Tachibanada on 14 minutes.
  • 19' 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.
  • 24' 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.
  • 29' Over 29 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 34' Vissel Kobe have won 467 goals from 444 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 39' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 43' GOAL! Yoshinori Muto scores on 43. Assisted by Gotoku Sakai
  • 46' It is a substitution in Kawasaki Frontale team. Hinata Yamauchi is replaced by Ze Ricardo on 46 minute.
  • 50' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Gotoku Sakai on 50 minutes.
  • 55' It looks surprising Kawasaki Frontale does not make any changes. Marcinho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 60' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Kawasaki Frontale that had 439 games and scored 556 goals.
  • 61' A tactical swap from Kawasaki Frontale — Shin Yamada on, Bafetimbi Gomis off on 61 minutes.
  • 66' The Vissel Kobe bench stirs into life. Daiju Sasaki is withdrawn and Rikuto Hirose gets his opportunity.
  • 71' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Vissel Kobe and Kawasaki Frontale are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 72' Tatsuki Seko has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jesiel on 72 minute.
  • 73' Vissel Kobe manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Yuki Honda is hanging Thuler on the field on 73 minute.
  • 78' Kawasaki Frontale 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.
  • 81' The supporters are chanting for Yusuke Segawa. He replaces Akihiro Ienaga on 81 minute.
  • 86' Hinata Yamauchi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
