Andres Iniesta said goodbye this Saturday Vissel Kobe Japanese with a league match that ended in a draw (1-1) against Consadole Sapporo, played at home, the Noevir Stadium in the city of Kobe. Iniesta was part of the starting eleven in his last game with the Japanese team from western Japan, where he played 57 minutes before being replaced by Daiju Sasaki to the cheers of his fans.
When the Fuentealbilla midfielder was substituted, he bowed in the stands, where several Spanish flags were seen waving, and hugged some of his teammates and members of the coaching staff before taking his place on the bench.
Thai striker Supachok Sarachat opened the scoring for Consadole Sapporo in the 26th minute, in the most outstanding play of a first half that passed without surprise or change. Vissel’s equalizing goal came in the 85th minute after left-back Ryo Hatsuse kicked a corner that was headed in by Brazil center-back Matheus Thuler just outside the box.
Japanese television cameras captured Iniesta celebrating his team’s goal, which with this tie managed to maintain third place in the first division of the Japanese national league, the J-League.
