Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds NOEVIR Stadium Kobe will turn into a battlefield for Vissel Kobe and Urawa Red Diamonds.
  • 5' Mitsuki Saito has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 418 appearances.
  • 10' named a 4-1-2-3 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 15' Urawa Red Diamonds is showing some good football. However, Urawa Red Diamonds are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 20' Takuya Ogiwara is a natural defender and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vissel Kobe tonight.
  • 21' Atsuki Ito puts Urawa Red Diamonds on the lead.
  • 26' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 31' Vissel Kobe started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 31.
  • 36' With 1 assists to his name this season, Tetsushi Yamakawa is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Urawa Red Diamonds.
  • 41' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 41 minutes.
  • 46' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 51' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 56' 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 David Moberg-Karlsson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' The supporters are chanting for Takahiro Sekine. He replaces David Moberg-Karlsson on 61 minute.
  • 64' It’s a booking for Vissel Kobe player. Gotoku Sakai gets a Yellow card.
  • 67' A change in the Vissel Kobe ranks — Koya Yuruki exits the field as Daiju Sasaki enters on 67.
  • 71' A moment of madness from Takahiro Sekine on 71 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Urawa Red Diamonds will be frustrated.
  • 73' Urawa Red Diamonds ring the changes. Shinzo Koroki has done his job and it is now time for Bryan Linssen to step up.
  • 77' Vissel Kobe ring the changes. Leo Osaki has done his job and it is now time for Toya Izumi to step up.
  • 78' The Vissel Kobe bench stirs into life. Leo Osaki is withdrawn and Toya Izumi gets his opportunity.
  • 80' Urawa Red Diamonds ring the changes. Tomoaki Okubo has done his job and it is now time for Kaito Yasui to step up.
  • 85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yuya Osako made 417 appearances and scored 73 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 90' Daiya Maekawa is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Urawa Red Diamonds so far.
  • The points are shared — Vissel Kobe 0-1 Urawa Red Diamonds. Honours even.
