It was the injury time between Vissel Kobe and Shimizu S-Pulse in the Japanese J-League. Kobe had saved a 3-2 game end. However, the injury time dragged out due to an injury in the length. So it came that Shimizu goalkeeper Yuji Rokuntan headed in the 14th minute of injury time after a corner to compensate for the home side against the club the world champions Lukas Podolski and Andrés Iniesta.

- DAZN DE (@DAZN_EN) 24 November 2018Kobe not only had to put off this very late damper. The club must also finish the season finale without Naoyuki Fujita and Wellington Luís de Sousa, who were each sent off in the 83rd and 90th + 18 minutes with yellow-red.
All this, however, the club will be able to get over. Because: With this one point Kobe has a matchday before the end of the season 42 points and thus two points ahead of the relegation rank. Since Nagoya Grampus and Shonan Bellmare (each 40 points), two chasers in the relegation battle, meet on the last day of the match, Kobe can celebrate the league. As champion in the first Japanese league Kawasaki Frontale has been stuck for two weeks.
