Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Nissan Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Yokohama F·Marinos and Vissel Kobe.
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Vissel Kobe is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' Ryuho Kikuchi is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Vissel Kobe tonight.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 20' Yokohama F.Marinos make a change. Marcos Junior trudges off to be replaced by Jun Amano on 20 minutes.
- 25' Ayub Masika is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Vissel Kobe so far.
- 30' With 0 assists to his name this season, Yuya Nakasaka is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Yokohama F·Marinos.
- 35' Yokohama F·Marinos are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Vissel Kobe's shape.
- 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 41' Thomas Vermaelen does the damage! The net is bulging and Yokohama F.Marinos surge ahead!
- 46' Lincoln is replacing Shion Inoue for the Vissel Kobe side.
- 51' Vissel Kobe are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 56' Yokohama F·Marinos are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Vissel Kobe backline.
- 59' Iniesta gets the nod from Vissel Kobe. He replaces Daiju Sasaki and will look to change the dynamic.
- 60' Another change for Vissel Kobe made on 60 minute. Daiju Sasaki leaves to be changed by Iniesta.
- 65' 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 Yohei Takaoka suffering a number of foals already.
- 70' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 73' The Yokohama F.Marinos bench stirs into life. Ado Onaiwu is withdrawn and Leo Ceara gets his opportunity.
- 78' Elber has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 21 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 80' GOAL! Jun Amano scores on 80.
- 81' A tactical swap from Vissel Kobe — Ryo Hatsuse on, Tetsushi Yamakawa off on 81 minutes.
- 86' It looks surprising Vissel Kobe does not make any changes. Ryo Hatsuse has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- With this win, Yokohama F·Marinos is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
