- 7' A quiet spell here at Noevir Stadium. Vissel Kobe seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 12' The travelling Nagoya Grampus supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 17' With 0 assists to his name this season, Rikuto Hirose is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Vissel Kobe.
- 22' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Takayuki Yoshida will be considering his options from the bench.
- 27' Thuler has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 18 cards already picked up this season.

- 36' The referee calls foul for Teruki Hara. He receives a card.
- 41' It looks surprising Vissel Kobe does not make any changes. Katsuhiro Nakayama has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 62' Over 62 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 67' 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.
- 71' A change in the Nagoya Grampus ranks — Taichi Kikuchi exits the field as Mateus enters on 71.
- 76' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 79' Yuya Asano is ready to make an impact after coming on for Keiya Shiihashi at the 79 minute mark.
- 83' A moment of madness from Takahiro Ogihara on 83 minutes earns him a card. Vissel Kobe will be frustrated.
