Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Vissel Kobe kicks off things out of here…
- 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yoshinori Muto made 339 appearances and scored 45 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 10' 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 Takeru Kishimoto suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Tokushima Vortis is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Tokushima Vortis is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Vissel Kobe started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 30.
- 35' The travelling Tokushima Vortis supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 40' It’s high time Daniel Poyatos Algaba made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 45' 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.
- 50' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 55' Kazuki Nishiya needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 57' GOAL! Yuya Osako scores on 57.
- 58' Another substitution for Vissel Kobe to replace Yuta Goke by Lincoln on 58 minute.
- 63' Time for substitution for Tokushima Vortis. Yuki Kakita is replaced by Mushaga Bakenga.
- 68' 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.
- 70' The supporters are chanting for Leo Osaki. He replaces Sergi Samper on 70 minute.
- 75' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 79' The whistle greets Iniesta as he departs to be replaced by Yuya Nakasaka.
- 84' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 89' The whistle greets Tokuma Suzuki as he departs to be replaced by Kazunari Ichimi.
- Another three points for Vissel Kobe.
