Vissel Kobe vs Giravanz Kitakyushu
In the second round of the Japanese Cup this season Vissel Kobe faced a pretty interesting test against Giravanz Kitakyushu. Participants from Division 3 did appear impressive lately so that the hosts should not look down when they met on Wednesday (3/7) at Misaki Park.
The visitors were still playing until Saturday (29/6) against Grulla Morioka and managed to win dramatically 2-3 after Shuto Machino scored a goal on 91 minutes. Thanks to these results, Giravanz Kitakyushu was now in the runner-up position on match day 14.
A rain of goals also occurred in the match between Vissel Kobe vs Giravanz Kitakyushu; the host managed to pitch with a score of 5-3 after David Villa and Andres Iniesta each contributed brace. With these results, they also began to open the opportunity to enter the top 10 zone by one point difference from 11th place in the Japanese League.
In more detail, the victory helped Vissel Kobe close the campaign in June without defeat, more precisely with 3 wins and 2 draws. Meanwhile, last weekend’s results helped Giravanz Kitakyushu record 3 wins and 1 draw in the league so the midweek duel is predicted to be interesting.
Two teams had met for a season, precisely in 2013 when they were both playing in Division 2. At that time Vissel Kobe wiped out two matches with a score of 2-1 and 2-3, a good start before appearing in tomorrow’s match.
