Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Vissel Kobe and Nagoya Grampus get this one started.
  • 5' Vissel Kobe are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Nagoya Grampus's shape.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' Mitch Langerak has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 18 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 19' Yuichi Maruyama was booked on 19.
  • 24' With 0 assists to his name this season, Daigo Nishi is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Vissel Kobe.
  • 29' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 29 minutes.
  • 34' It’s high time Massimo Ficcadenti made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

  • 54' Yuki Soma is ready to make an impact after coming on for Naoki Maeda at the 54 minute mark.
  • 59' 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 Yuki Soma suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' The Spain Iniesta breaks the deadlock on 60 minutes. 1-0!
  • 65' Nagoya Grampus are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

  • 75' Vissel Kobe have won 467 goals from 444 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

  • 83' Time for substitution for Nagoya Grampus. Yutaka Yoshida is replaced by Oh Jaeseok.
  • 84' The whistle greets Douglas as he departs to be replaced by Noriaki Fujimoto.
  • 86' Another substitution for Vissel Kobe to replace Kyogo Furuhashi by Yutaro Oda on 86 minute.
  • 87' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ryogo Yamasaki.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Nagoya Grampus.
