Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at . Ninety minutes of football awaits between Vissel Kobe and Yokohama F·Marinos.
- 5' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 10' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Vissel Kobe and Yokohama F·Marinos are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 15' Yuta Goke needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ange Postecoglou will be considering his options from the bench.
- 25' Yokohama F·Marinos are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ken Matsubara made 302 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 35' It looks surprising Vissel Kobe does not make any changes. Leo Osaki has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 40' Sho Ito, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 45' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 50' With 1 assists to his name this season, Teruhito Nakagawa is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Yokohama F·Marinos.
- 55' Vissel Kobe is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 60' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Vissel Kobe needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 65' Vissel Kobe seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 70' Vissel Kobe have won 467 goals from 444 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 75' 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 Wellington suffering a number of foals already.
- 80' Portugal international Hugo Vieira has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 85' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 90' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Yokohama F·Marinos players.
