Kobe, Japan – Vissel Kobe secured a convincing 2-0 victory over Gwangju FC in the Round of 16 of the AFC Champions League at NOEVIR Stadium Kobe on Tuesday, March 5th. The match, officiated by Adel Al Naqbi of the United Arab Emirates, was characterized by the home team’s clinical finishing.
Yūya Osako opened the scoring in the 20th minute, sparking jubilation amongst the home supporters. Nine minutes later, Hotaru Ide doubled the lead, assisted by Osako.
