Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: V-Varen Nagasaki gets underway.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering V-Varen Nagasaki that had 188 games and scored 49 goals.
  • 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 15' It looks surprising Vissel Kobe does not make any changes. Shu Hiramatsu has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 20' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 25' The travelling V-Varen Nagasaki supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 35' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Vissel Kobe and V-Varen Nagasaki are fighting for every inch of the pitch.

  • 50' V-Varen Nagasaki has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 55' Both keepers have barely been tested. Vissel Kobe and V-Varen Nagasaki are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 60' 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 Jordy Buijs suffering a number of foals already.
  • 65' A quiet spell here at . Vissel Kobe seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 70' The 38-year-old Hirofumi Watanabe has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 75' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Masatoshi Mihara made 444 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 80' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. JuanMa Lillo will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 85' Ryota Isomura needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
