5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Hotaru Yamaguchi made 369 appearances and scored 26 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
10' Naoki Maeda has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
15' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
19' What a strike from Sho Inagaki! The score is 0-1.

39' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 39 minutes.
44' Takuya Yasui has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 444 appearances.
46' It is a substitution in Vissel Kobe team. Takuya Yasui is replaced by Sergi Samper on 46 minute.
51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Nagoya Grampus that had 439 games and scored 396 goals.
56' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
59' A tactical swap from Nagoya Grampus — Yoichiro Kakitani on, Gabriel Xavier off on 59 minutes.
64' Tetsushi Yamakawa makes way for Ryo Hatsuse at the 64 minute mark. A tactical switch from Vissel Kobe.
69' 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.
74' Nagoya Grampus started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 74.
77' Another change for Nagoya Grampus made on 77 minute. Ryogo Yamasaki leaves to be changed by Naoki Maeda.
78' The Nagoya Grampus manager makes a substitution. Kazuki Nagasawa departs to be replaced by Takuji Yonemoto.
83' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
84' Controversy at the stadium! Sergi Samper argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
84' The Vissel Kobe bench stirs into life. Yuta Goke is withdrawn and Noriaki Fujimoto gets his opportunity.
